Blutungen unter der Endometriosetherapie mit Dienogest – ein Problem?
This study examines spotting and bleeding events during Dienogest therapy for endometriosis, noting that while the drug induces amenorrhea, frequent minor bleeding episodes occur but typically resolve spontaneously within seven days.

This study evaluated bleeding patterns in 220 patients with endoscopically confirmed endometriosis treated for 24 weeks with daily 2mg dienogest. Results showed that only 18.5% of participants remained completely amenorrheic, although the frequency of spotting events decreased over time and did not negatively impact symptom relief or treatment efficacy. The authors conclude that these irregular bleeds stem from endometrial atrophy as part of the drug's mechanism and recommend maintaining the standard dose, using a five-day pause only if bleeding persists beyond seven days. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically addressing the management of breakthrough bleeding during dienogest therapy for deep infiltrating or superficial lesions.
