Menstruation und Endometriose - Physiologie und Pathologie, die das Frausein bestimmen
This review discusses menstruation and endometriosis, covering physiology and pathology, and notes that while endocrine control is understood, the genesis, diagnosis, and therapy of endometriosis remain unclear.

The paper discusses menstruation as a central aspect of female physiology and focuses on how disruptions in endometrial/uterine regulation may relate to the pathogenesis of endometriosis, including hypotheses that endometriosis could represent a pathological form of menstruation and that juvenile dysmenorrhea may precede later disease in those with genetic and structural predispositions. It outlines major clinical issues it considers unresolved, such as the timing and nature of diagnosis and the lack of reliable, noninvasive diagnostic approaches, noting that definitive diagnosis requires histological sampling, usually via endoscopic or operative procedures. The author describes current and evolving treatment concepts, including surgical removal as a common choice, additional need for medical/other therapies for a chronic condition, and points out limitations such as unknown effects on progression with gestagen-based ovulation suppressors and insufficient long-term data for prolonged cycle regimens. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it proposes connections between disrupted menstruation physiology and endometriosis pathogenesis, and reviews diagnostic and therapeutic considerations.
