Endurance
Dauerbrunst (including duration rutting , Dauerranz, Dauerrolligkeit) is a disease in the veterinary medicine , wherein the female animals permanently in the estrus phase of the estrous cycle , and present corresponding symptoms and behaviors.
The permanent heat is characterized by high estrogen levels ( hyperestrogenism ) and is mainly triggered by ovarian cysts , more rarely by ovarian tumors or by the administration of feed containing ingredients with an estrogenic effect (e.g. zearalenone ). Rabbits and ferrets are particularly affected.
The anthropologist Rainer Knußmann applies the term to humans in a transferred manner: "In humans, there is also a permanent heat in the female sex, while such a heat is only hinted at in the females of the higher primates ".
