Endometriose im Intestinaltrakt
Gastrointestinal endometriosis is often misdiagnosed, but transvaginal ultrasound, MRI, and laparoscopy are gold standards for diagnosis, with symptom-oriented surgical or hormonal therapy.

The paper reviews gastrointestinal endometriosis, focusing on why it is often diagnosed late and incorrectly when women present with menstruation-dependent GI complaints, and it describes the diagnostic and treatment approach across lesion locations. It explains that heterogeneous lesion localization and the low sensitivity of colonoscopy complicate diagnosis, and states that transvaginal ultrasound, optionally combined with MRI and diagnostic/operative laparoscopy, is considered the diagnostic gold standard, while therapy is symptom-oriented and surgical resection is highlighted as the most important procedure for lesion treatment. A major limitation acknowledged is the diagnostic difficulty due to colonoscopy sensitivity and the need for complex, sometimes interdisciplinary evaluation rather than a single definitive test. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically gastrointestinal (intestinal) tract endometriosis and its diagnosis and management.
