Endometriose – eine systemische Erkrankung?
Endometriosis can influence other diseases through chronic inflammation and oxidative stress, and it is associated with increased risks of migraines, cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal disorders, autoimmune diseases, and cancer.

This narrative article reviews how endometriosis may affect the pathogenesis of other diseases through mechanisms such as chronic systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune system involvement. It synthesizes existing associations reported across studies, including links with migraine, cardiovascular risks (e.g., stroke risk), gastrointestinal diseases, autoimmune diseases, and an increased cancer risk—particularly gynecological cancers like ovarian cancer. The authors note an important limitation that for several of these comorbid conditions it remains unclear whether endometriosis increases risk or whether risk may run in the opposite direction, and they highlight that autoimmune diseases could potentially also increase endometriosis risk. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it argues endometriosis should be recognized as a systemic disease with multiple comorbidities.
