Endometriosis awareness and diagnosis in Germany

Overview

Efforts to support and inform patients regarding endometriosis have been highlighted through regional initiatives in Germany, such as action days in the Miesbach and Rosenheim districts. These programs aim to provide medical insights and multidisciplinary support to improve the quality of life for those affected.

Data from the health insurance provider IKK Südwest indicates a significant rise in endometriosis diagnoses between 2019 and 2025 across Hessen, Saarland, and Rheinland-Pfalz. Overall diagnoses for members rose by approximately 45 percent, with the most substantial increase of 91 percent observed among women aged 20 to 29. Jörg Loth, head of IKK Südwest, suggested this trend may reflect improved awareness and diagnostic capabilities.
