Dysuria and the bladder
The majority of patients with bladder endometriosis are symptomatic
(dysuria, voiding problems, etc.) (23) (24) (25). This supports our
finding of the symptom of dysuria having a predictive value for the
presence of bladder endometriosis and is seen clearly in the euler
diagram (Figure 1.5). However the finding in the ROC curve was not
strong, but we can carefully conclude that even low NRS for dysuria
(>0.5), could indicate bladder endometriosis. Translated to
clinical practice, patients presenting with very little dysuria symptoms
can still have bladder endometriosis.
