No pain symptoms, but DE is present
It is interesting to find that one third of the patients do not report dyschezia, but do have intestinal DE involvement. This phenomenon is present in more compartments like adenomyosis whereby 17% do not report dysmenorrhea and 24% of the cases do not report dyschezia, but there is rectal involvement. However, in the bladder it is shown that only in 1 out of 10 cases is no dysuria reported while there is DE involvement of the bladder. This translates to a stronger correlation of bladder involvement and dysuria symptoms.
