The paper addresses the question of whether environmental toxicological exposures could contribute to the development of uterine fibroids in young women and the increasing frequency of endometriosis. It presents a conceptual discussion of the role of Umweltbelastungen, framed by a growing epidemiologic observation, and cites background literature on environmental pollutants and toxicology. A major limitation is that the provided text does not describe original study data, specific exposure measurements, or a defined study population—rather it summarizes the issue and related references. Relevance to endometriosis: the paper is explicitly focused on environmental toxicological burdens in relation to uterine fibroids and/or endometriosis, using the rise in endometriosis frequency as the impetus, though it is presented here as a broader discussion than as an empirical study.

Zusammenfassung Zunehmend häufiger lassen sich Uterusmyome bereits bei jungen Frauen nachweisen. Auch die Endometriose scheint an Häufigkeit zuzunehmen. Es stellt sich deshalb die Frage, ob unter Umständen Umweltbelastungen für die Entwicklung dieser Krankheitsbilder verantwortlich sein könnten.
