This paper is a narrative discussion examining how endometriosis affects quality of life and which psychosocial domains are most prominent, drawing on the disease’s chronic course and symptom evolution from menarche onward. It highlights that impaired quality of life is largely driven by pain and focuses on stress perception, sleep disorders, relationship problems, and anxiety, with a stated need to pay special attention to depression and anxiety disorders when psychiatric diagnoses already exist. A key limitation is that it presents considerations and treatment focus at a conceptual level without reporting new patient data or conducting studies by the authors. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on maintaining quality of life in patients by addressing pain-related psychosocial factors such as stress, sleep, relationships, and anxiety/depression.

Zusammenfassung Endometriose ist mit einer Inzidenz von 10 % bei Frauen im gebärfähigen Alter häufiger als meist angenommen und gilt als chronische Krankheit. Die Beschwerden können sich bereits bei der Menarche erstmals äußern und wandeln mit der Zeit ihren Charakter. Zur Verhinderung einer Schmerzchronifizierung ist es essenziell, einerseits die Endometriose als Ursache und andererseits die Schmerzen an sich adäquat zu therapieren. Denn vor allem der Schmerz führt zur Beeinträchtigung der Lebensqualität. Im Vordergrund stehen Stresswahrnehmung, Schlafstörungen, Beziehungsprobleme und Angst. Wenn psychiatrische Diagnosen schon vorbestehen, ist speziell auf Depressionen und Angststörungen zu achten. Welche Therapie die richtige ist, kann sich je nach Lebenssituation und aktuellen Beschwerden stets ändern. Darum brauchen Frauen mit Endometriose häufig eine Wegbegleitung durch ein interdisziplinäres Team. In diesem Beitrag besprechen wir, worauf geachtet werden sollte, um die Lebensqualität von Patientinnen mit Endometriose zu erhalten. Abstract Endometriosis, with an incidence of 10% in women of childbearing age, is more common than often thought and is considered to be a chronic disease. Symptoms can express themselves as early as menarche and change in character over time. In order to prevent chronic pelvic pain, adequate treatment of the causes of endometriosis and the resulting pain are essential to avoid impairment in quality of life. The focus of therapy is on stress, sleep disorders, relationship problems, and anxiety. If psychiatric diagnoses already exist, special attention should be paid to depression and anxiety disorders. Because the most appropriate therapy can change over time, depending on the life situation and current symptoms, women with endometriosis often need to be accompanied by an interdisciplinary team. In this article, we discuss the important aspects that should be considered to maintain a high quality of life for patients with endometriosis.
