OKAY! Let's chat all things urinary tract endometriosis! This is a broad overview of how endometriosis lesions, adhesions, and stroma have been found on organs and tissues within the urinary tract system (including the bladder, urethra, ureters, and kidneys). Up to 1% of those with pelvic endometriosis have endometriosis involving the urinary tract. In cases of deep endometriosis (DE), the prevalence is even higher — up to 50%. Yet even in the latter cases when symptoms are obvious, urinary tract endometriosis (UTE) remains underdiagnosed!

In this video I chat about the symptoms associated with urinary tract endometriosis (even though urinary tract endometriosis often doesn't present symptoms!). I also go into depth around imaging techniques that are used to isolate, locate, and address endometriosis in the urinary tract (MRI's, ultrasounds, and more!).

Let's keep raising awareness around endometriosis so that those suffering with the disease receive the proper care and support that they deserve - especially with presentations of endometriosis in areas that are often underdiagnosed (like the urinary tract!).

I'd be curious to know if you have suffered with urinary tract endometriosis and how you found care and support in your region! I'd be happy to do a deeper dive into bladder and kidney endometriosis if you'd like! Just comment down below which video you'd like to see first!
