Postcoital bleeding in a case of recto-vaginal endometriosis

Rectovaginal Endometriosis (RVE) is a severe form of endometriosis classified by Kirtner as stage 4 [1,2]. It is less frequent than peritoneal or ovarian endometriosis affecting 3.8% to 37% of patients with endometriosis [3,4]. RVE infiltrates the rectum, vagina, and rectovaginal septum, up to obliteration of the pouch of Douglas [4]. Endometriotic nodules exceeding 30 mm in diameter have 17.9%...

Maternal Recto-Vaginal Organisms and Surface Skin Colonization in Infants
