| Abstract | ||
| Endometriosis Is defined as “the presence of endometrial-like tissue in ectopic locations, primarily the pelvic peritoneum, ovaries, and rectovaginal septum, which induces a chronic inflammatory reaction. Main complaints pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and dyspareunia. Several theories have been proposed to explain endometriosis pathogenesis. The revised American Society of Reproductive Medicine Classification (rASRM) is the most accepted classification system for endometriosis, based on a laparoscopic evaluation of the patient (ranging from stage I to stage IV). The gold standard for confirming endometriosis is laparoscopic inspection. Inflammatory Bowel Disease Is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract. Two major subtypes of IBD are identified, (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis). IBD is characterized by episodic abdominal pain, diarrhea, and bloody stools. Fecal calprotectin is commonly used as a screening test for IBD. Aim of the Work: The aim of the work was to study the association between pelvic endometriosis and inflammatory bowel disease using fecal calprotectin analysis in cases diagnosed by laparoscope to have pelvic endometriosis. | ||
