Transvaginal ultrasound can identify the infiltration of BE nodules in the bladder wall and predict cystoscopic findings with great accuracy. Nodules that partially affect the muscular layer have normal cystoscopic findings, thereby obviating the need for this procedure. Bladder endometriosis nodules are commonly associated with other forms of endometriosis and do not usually affect the ureteral meatus.
