ENDOMETRIOSIS OF RETROVAGINAL TISSUE AND VAGINA (CLINICAL CASE)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Given the multiplicity of clinical symptoms: cyclical and chronic pain, infertility, abnormal uterine bleeding, dysfunction of neighboring organs, and other complaints that reduce the quality of life, including the psychoemotional status of women of predominantly reproductive age, endometriosis remains one of the most socially and demographically significant diseases requiring a multidisciplinary approach.
This article describes a rare clinical case of combined internal and external endometriosis in a young patient with endometriosis of the rectovaginal septum and vagina.
Given the optimal management tactics chosen by the patient, a favorable outcome was obtained for the woman.
