I often hear that patients that I have treated for endometriosis no
longer have IBS postop... the chronic irritation of the lower pelvis
due to endometriosis may be a common cause for irritable bowel syndrome.
I don't know about the breast association. I have not had any patients
with endometriosis of the breast, but it is reported in the literature
Good Luck
