This chapter describes a single 28-year-old woman with a 5-year history of dysmenorrhea, later found to have a pelvic mass and cyclic hematochezia during menstruation. Colonoscopy was attempted but could not pass the sigmoid colon, and the patient underwent left ovarian endometrioid cyst dissection along with surgery to release intestinal adhesions. The report’s key limitation is that it is a single-case narrative with no comparative diagnostic or outcome analysis. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically focuses on rectosigmoid (deep intestinal) endometriosis presentation and management in a case.

Abstract

In a 28-year-old female patient who had dysmenorrhea for 5 years, a pelvic mass was found 2 years ago, and hematochezia during menstruation was found one year ago. The patient underwent colonoscopy; during the examination, the colonoscopy was blocked and failed when the sigmoid colon was reached. The patient underwent left ovarian endometrioid cyst dissection and decomposition of intestinal adhesion.
