This study analyzed preoperative symptom data from 1344 endometriosis patients suspected of having bowel involvement to compare clinical histories with intraoperative findings. The researchers identified that rectal elongation, present in approximately 60% of cases, frequently leads to an outlet constipation syndrome characterized by chronic constipation followed by menstrual diarrhea and rectal bleeding. The authors conclude that this functional disorder is a more common cause of painful obstipation than direct intestinal infiltration by endometriotic lesions. Relevance to endometriosis: the paper directly investigates gastrointestinal symptoms in endometriosis patients, identifying outlet constipation as a frequent alternative explanation for bowel issues often attributed to deep infiltrating disease.
