[Conservative therapy of endometriosis].
Endometriosis is the second most frequent benign disease of the female of reproductive age. In spite of extensive research, the etiology of this disease is still largely enigmatic. A causal therapy has not been found yet. Several drug therapy approaches are available but none offers a permanent cure of endometriosis. In addition, the range of side effects of the particular drug therapies has to be considered individually. The treatment of patients with endometriosis cannot be standardized but has to differentiate the individual factors and life circumstances of the patients.
