Endometriose – mehr als „nur“ Dysmenorrhö!

Zusammenfassung Das Krankheitsbild der Endometriose zählt zu den häufigsten benignen Erkrankungen der Frau in der reproduktiven Phase und konfrontiert im Arbeitsalltag nahezu alle gynäkologischen Praxen und Kliniken in unterschiedlicher Häufigkeit und Intensität. Aber auch die benachbarten Fachdisziplinen haben regelmäßig direkten oder indirekten Kontakt mit Krankheitsformationen der Endometriose oder ihren Folgen. Die Erkrankung ist geprägt durch Schmerzsymptome und Sterilität. Der Tatsache, dass Endometriose auch Adoleszente betrifft, wird häufig zu wenig Beachtung geschenkt. Doch auch in diesem Alter ist die Erkrankung oftmals mit hohem Leidensdruck verbunden. Bis eine adäquate Diagnostik und Therapie erfolgt, vergehen oft viele Jahre. Die gezielte Anamnese und gründliche Untersuchung ermöglichen eine Einschätzung bezüglich des Ausmaßes und der Lokalisation der Endometrioseläsionen und bilden die Basis für eine individuelle, nachhaltige Therapieplanung. Abstract Endometriosis is one of the most frequent benign diseases in women of reproductive age. In the clinical routine, nearly all practicing gynecologists and gynecological clinics are confronted with this condition at diverse rates and in various degrees of severity. In addition to gynecology, neighboring medical specialties also have to regularly deal, either directly or indirectly, with various forms of endometriosis and its sequelae. The disease is marked by pain and sterility. Too little attention is frequently paid to the fact that endometriosis also affects adolescents; nevertheless, even in patients of this age group it is associated with a significant level of suffering. Many years can elapse before the disease is diagnosed and appropriately treated. A targeted taking of the medical history and thorough examination enable an accurate assessment with respect to the extent and location of endometriosis lesions and constitute the basis of an individualized sustainable treatment planning.
