Prevalence of urinary symptoms in women with parametrial endometriosis - Systematic review and meta-analysis

Listen to this summary

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the prevalence of urinary symptoms in women with parametrial endometriosis both before and after surgical intervention. The findings revealed that while urinary symptoms, particularly lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), were common preoperatively, their prevalence significantly decreased post-surgery, although some symptoms persisted in a notable percentage of patients. The study highlights the importance of careful surgical techniques and patient counseling to improve urinary function outcomes.
