Endometriosepatientinnen nehmen trotz starker Dysmenorrhoe und Beschwerden häufig keine Pille. Dies sind die Gründe für die Nichteinnahme
This study found that many patients with endometriosis do not take hormonal therapy despite severe symptoms, citing side effect fears, rejection of artificial hormones, and desire for children as primary reasons.

This retrospective cross-sectional study surveyed 535 women with operatively confirmed endometriosis to identify reasons for avoiding hormonal therapy despite significant symptoms. The results showed that only 45.9% of participants were currently using hormonal treatment, while those not using it reported similar levels of dysmenorrhea and subjective disturbance as users. Primary reasons for non-adherence included fear of side effects, rejection of artificial hormones, desire for pregnancy, and concerns regarding thrombosis or migraine. The authors note that many cited reasons are not absolute contraindications for gestagen-only therapies, suggesting a need for improved risk-benefit counseling. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically focusing on patient-reported barriers to adherence with hormonal therapeutic interventions.
