Endometriosis (EMs) is a common disease in women of childbearing age, categorized into ovarian, superficial, and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). Bladder endometriosis (BE) is a type of DIE with an incidence of approximately 1% among women of childbearing age. Its main symptoms include pelvic discomfort and urinary dysfunction. Importantly, bladder endometriosis and ureteral endometriosis are distinct entities with different clinical manifestations and management approaches. As the condition progresses, it can involve the ureters, leading to hydronephrosis and severe renal function impairment. Currently, diagnosis primarily relies on ultrasound, MRI, and cystoscopy, with surgical treatment showing good efficacy and low recurrence rates. We report a patient with bladder endometriosis to enhance our understanding of this condition.
子宫内膜异位症（EMs）是育龄期女性的常见疾病，分为卵巢型、浅表型和深部浸润型子宫内膜异位症（DIE）。膀胱子宫内膜异位症（BE）是DIE的一种类型，在育龄期女性中的发病率约为1%。其主要症状包括盆腔不适和排尿功能障碍。重要的是，膀胱子宫内膜异位症和输尿管子宫内膜异位症是不同的实体，具有不同的临床表现和治疗方法。随着病情进展，它可累及输尿管，导致肾积水和严重肾功能损害。目前，诊断主要依靠超声、磁共振成像（MRI）和膀胱镜检查，手术治疗显示出良好的疗效和较低的复发率。我们报告1例膀胱子宫内膜异位症患者，以增进我们对该病的认识。
