Abstract

Endometriosis is one of the most frequent gynecological disorders in the reproductive age. Discrepancies between clinical findings and subjective Symptoms cause the question of the determing factors for the subjective experience. In the present study an hermeneutic, sense-orientated approach was employed by using qualitative methods of research. Eleven interviews with endometriosis patients were recorded on tape and transcribed, followed by an individual-case and a comparative analysis in partly deductively and inductively defined categories. The psychosexual development has been found as negatively influenced. Endometriosis patients show conflicting concepts of their sex-specific role. A found aggression conflict manifests itself in the pain Sensation, at an intrapsychic land an interpersonnel level: it influences the relations with other persons, in particular, the doctor-patient relationship. Changes of sense in the doctor-patient-relationship and recent concepts of psychosomatic disorders are discussed.
