This 2019 doctoral dissertation by Malin Ek investigates gastrointestinal symptoms in women with endometriosis, focusing on comorbidity patterns and possible roles of autoimmunity and inflammatory mechanisms, with attention to related frameworks such as IBS and GnRH pathways. Using the thesis format, it synthesizes and analyzes evidence to connect endometriosis with GI symptom burden and biologic processes. A key limitation explicitly inherent to this dissertation work is that it compiles research findings within its scope (84 pages) and does not claim to establish causal mechanisms beyond what the included studies support. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically examines gastrointestinal symptoms and links them to comorbidity, autoimmunity, and inflammatory mechanisms.
