How it presents
Cyclical urinary frequency or urgency, dysuria, suprapubic pain, sometimes haematuria – all typically worse around menstruation. Sometimes mistaken for recurrent urinary tract infections in patients with negative urine cultures.
Imaging and cystoscopy
Transvaginal ultrasound often shows bladder wall thickening or nodule. MRI provides additional detail. Cystoscopy directly visualises bladder lesions, with biopsy confirming diagnosis.
Medical and surgical
Medical management with hormonal suppression for mild cases. Surgical excision of bladder wall nodule (partial cystectomy) for symptomatic full-thickness disease. Multidisciplinary input with urology for ureter involvement.
Dr Patel assesses bladder endometriosis with imaging-led mapping and cystoscopy where needed, and performs bladder-sparing excision within a multidisciplinary team when surgery is indicated.
