Abstract

In women with chronic pelvic pain (CPP), interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) and endometriosis frequently coexist. The mechanism of these diseases coexisting is explained by cross-sensitization between endometriosis and IC/BPS. The overlapped symptoms may be related to cross-sensitization with transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) and/or transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) hyperexpression. This study was aimed at exploring whether bladder hypersensitivity is evoked in the surgically induced ectopic endometriosis rat and whether TRPV1 and/or TRPA1 play a vital role.
