Carolin Kebekus Uses ARD Show to Spotlight Women’s Health Burdens and Endometriosis

A prime-time monologue with a late-diagnosis testimony turns a comedy format into an awareness push.

Overview

  • The Nov. 21 episode of Die Carolin Kebekus Show on ARD focused on women’s health using humor to convey medical realities.
  • Kebekus estimated a lifetime total of roughly 450 periods and outlined recurring pain across key life stages.
  • She argued that society expects women to endure discomfort and that complaints risk being labeled hysterical.
  • Guest Eva Karl Faltermeier described years of severe pain, initial dismissal by doctors, and a later diagnosis of endometriosis.
  • She said hormone treatment was no longer an option, chose a hysterectomy, and now reports feeling well.
