When to See a Specialist for Vaginal Endometriosis

Vaginally palpable endometriosis is a red flag for deeply infiltrating disease. Learn why this serious finding requires specialist care — and what symptoms mean you shouldn’t wait.

Vaginal Endometriosis: A Sign You Shouldn’t Ignore

In this urgent expert short, Dr. Karli Goldstein shares a critical PSA on vaginal infiltration of endometriosis — a serious sign of deep, stage 4 disease. If you’ve been told endometriosis is palpable in the vaginal wall or rectovaginal septum, it’s time to seek care from a specialist.

Key Points Covered:

  • Vaginally palpable endometriosis may indicate rectovaginal or bowel involvement
  • Deep infiltrating disease requires close monitoring, even if you’re already on treatment
  • Symptoms like rectal bleeding, stabbing pain, or difficulty with bowel movements are red flags
  • Imaging like MRI and possible colonoscopy may be necessary for proper evaluation
  • The lower and deeper this disease infiltrates, the more complex the surgical removal
