The paper provides an overview of endometriosis as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, highlighting typical symptoms such as bleeding, pain, and infertility. It describes curative management as requiring complete surgical removal of all lesions and the inner genital organs, noting that urologists may be involved when the urinary tract is affected. It also states that purely symptom-controlling therapy often relies on medication-based hormonal manipulation. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it defines the condition and summarizes surgical versus symptom-control treatment concepts.

Zusammenfassung Endometriose bezeichnet das Vorkommen von endometrialem Gewebe außerhalb des Cavum uteri. Typische Symptome sind Blutungen, Schmerzen und Infertilität. Zur Kuration ist die vollständige chirurgische Entfernung aller Herde sowie des kompletten inneren Genitales notwendig, was nicht selten die Beteiligung des Urologen erfordert bei Befall der ableitenden Harnwege. Zur rein symptomkontrollierenden Therapie reicht oftmals eine medikamentöse Hormonmanipulation aus.
