Endometriosis is a common women’s health issue that affects around 10% of women between the ages of 15-44.<\/p>\n

If you have pelvic pain or other symptoms of bladder endometriosis, contact the physicians at Maiden Lane Medical in New York, NY.<\/p>\n

Endometriosis<\/a> is a painful women’s reproductive health issue that occurs when endometrial tissue forms outside of your uterus.<\/p>\n

Bladder endometriosis, sometimes called urinary tract endometriosis, is when you have endometrial lesions on your bladder wall.<\/p>\n

Bladder endometriosis is categorized as either superficial endometriosis or deep endometriosis, depending on whether the lesions are located on the surface of the bladder walls, or inside of the bladder or the bladder lining, where it can form nodules or affect a ureter.<\/p>\n

Pelvic pain is one of the hallmark symptoms of endometriosis, regardless of the location of the lesions.<\/p>\n

Bladder endometriosis often causes a combination of standard endometriosis symptoms<\/a> such as pelvic pain<\/a>, an irregular menstrual cycle, painful sex<\/a>, and fertility issues<\/a> with bladder symptoms like painful urination, urinary frequency and urgency, and hematuria (blood in urine).<\/p>\n

These symptoms are nonspecific, which means they could be caused by any one of a variety of health issues.<\/p>\n

This is why it’s critical to talk to your trusted gynecologist<\/a> and have an exam and tests to identify the underlying condition causing your symptoms.<\/p>\n

The causes of bladder endometriosis are unclear.<\/p>\n

Some of the factors that could contribute to endometriosis include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Hormone imbalances<\/li>\n
  • Immunologic dysfunction<\/li>\n
  • Inflammatory reactions<\/li>\n
  • Genetic factors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Retrograde menstruation was once believed to cause endometriosis. However, this hypothesis is unfounded.<\/p>\n
