Oral communication abstractsintestinal lesions was associated with increased stool frequency and softer stools; and pouch of Douglas obliteration was associated with a residual feeling after defecation. A higher score on the gastrointestinal symptom questionnaire was associated with pouch of Douglas obliteration and uterosacral ligament involvement on TVUS (all p<0.05). Conclusions: We observed a high prevalence of GIC in women referred to an endometriosis clinic. The presence of GIC should prompt an earlier evaluation for endometriotic lesions, which may potentially reduce the delay in diagnosis in these patients.
