Abstract

Jingyao Yuan*

Endometriosis is a chronic condition in which the tissue similar to the lining of the uterus, known as endometrial tissue, grows outside the uterus. While endometriosis commonly affects the reproductive organs, it can also involve other areas, including the bowel. Bowel endometriosis can cause a range of symptoms that significantly impact a person's quality of life. This article explores the various bowel symptoms associated with endometriosis and their underlying mechanisms. It also discusses the diagnostic methods, treatment options, and management strategies for bowel symptoms in endometriosis.
