The paper examines, via a survey study of 71 patients attending a university endometriosis center in Dresden, symptoms of endometriosis, history of physical/sexual violence, and attitudes toward whether gynecologists should ask about such experiences. It finds that 38.0% of participants reported having experienced physical and/or sexual violence or threats, with more than half occurring before age 14 and most occurring multiple times, and that the first comparison between women with and without violence history showed significant differences in social situation and pain intensity in the preceding three months. It also reports that 67.7% of women considered it important that gynecologists ask about violence, and that 69.1% agreed that women with endometriosis should be asked, with no significant attitude differences by violence experience. The authors frame these as preliminary intermediate results (between-analysis) based on the available completed questionnaires. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on whether gynecologists should ask endometriosis patients about sexual and domestic violence experiences.
