Video Tip: Diagnosing Rectal Endometrioma | January 2023-Diagnosing Rectal Endometrioma

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses a 32-year-old woman who has a history of rectal pain and recently experienced rectal bleeding during her menstrual periods. She underwent a colonoscopy at an outside center where a mucosally based lesion was observed in the rectum. Additional examination revealed a submucosal or extrinsic pressure on the colon near the lesion. Biopsies taken at the outside hospital were inconclusive, but biopsies conducted at the center identified the lesion as a colonic endometrioma. Due to the patient's symptoms and biopsy results, the decision was made to refer her to gynecology for further management. The video is sponsored by Braintree, part of Cibela Pharmaceuticals.
