The paper investigated women’s experiences with healthcare delivery in Germany for diagnosed endometriosis through the BMBF-funded EndoHealthCare study, using about 40 digital, fully transcribed interviews analyzed with qualitative content analysis to identify patterns of healthcare use and impacts on private life. It found substantial interindividual variability in care, including long diagnostic delays that are especially pronounced in younger women (shortening with an existing desire for children), and frequent issues of trivialization and psychologization of symptoms by physicians. The study also reports that physician–patient relationships involve mutual trust loss and communication problems, with physicians not always accurately perceiving colleagues’ views and results. The paper concludes that information deficits remain high among both women and physicians and that straightforward solutions seem unlikely due to persistent societal prejudice and taboo around lower abdominal pain. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically examines how women with endometriosis experience and navigate healthcare and related social factors in the German health system.
