Abstract

Endometriosis, functional endometrial stroma, and glands is a settlement outside the uterine cavity. Ectopic endometrial tissue spreads mostly to the pelvic organs, ovaries, pelvic peritoneum, rectovaginal septum, and cervix. Among these, intestinal endometriosis is an important and rarely encountered condition. Intestinal endometriosis is most commonly seen in the rectosigmoid and rectovaginal septum. Periodic rectal bleeding and pelvic pain are the most common symptoms. In this case report, we present a patient who was admitted with complaints of pelvic pain and rectal bleeding and was diagnosed with intestinal endometriosis.
