A patient with colonic endometriosis experienced remission of symptoms after danazol treatment, despite adverse effects, with no recurrence observed during two-year follow-up.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

A case of a 42 years-old woman suffering from lower abdominal pain, constipation and rectal bleeding during menses is reported. A barium enema showed an extrinsic filling defect on the rectosigmoid junction. Laparoscopy confirmed the clinical suspicion of endometrosis. She received danazol for a 6-month period during which she developed adverse effects that disappeared when the drug was discontinued. The patient remained asymptomatic after two years of follow up. Data from literature concerning diagnostic and treatment techniques are discussed.
