Endometriosis and its Impact on the Urinary System: a Uro Gynecological Review

Endometriosis is marked by the establishment of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity and is, therefore, an area of serious morbidity where this review aims to interrogate the effects of endometriosis on the urinary system with a view towards discussing its incidence, diagnostic difficulty, and treatment furthermore for this review, a thorough literature search was carried out on papers published between 1996 and 2024 colloquially for the urinary endometriosis (UTE) and its significance on patient care. Our study suggests that UTE could be found in 1-6% of females with endometriosis and that the bladder is almost always the affected organ also the literature highlights the need for rapid diagnosis and immediate multidisciplinary treatment including surgical and medical options and despite technical innovations in laparoscopic treatment techniques and hormonal therapies, a large proportion of patients still suffer from delays in diagnosis and residual symptoms finally we conclude that a multidisciplinary approach is desirable for better outcomes in patients with endometriosis involving the urinary system and that further research is needed to increase knowledge.
