Hi I have signed and left the following comment:

"Women are let down by the current level of expertise / knowledge regarding endo. There are some excellent specialists but these are in the minority and all too often women get sent to see junior gynae doctors who really are not experienced enough or knowledgable enough about the condition and ladies get inappropriate treatment and sometimes none at all and told to go away and just take pain killers. This is a disease that spreads and it needs to be treated and removed rather than just covered up with pain killers, or temporarily suppressed with hormonal drugs which cause havoc to a person who is already suffering. We need more expert surgeons who are able to identify endo in all its forms. Yes consultants are still out there advocating a hysterectomy cures endo! There are those who claim to treat endo and yet are not skilled enough to remove it surgically and advocate temporary supression drugs rather than dealing with it. Even those who do remove it by excision are often not skilled up enough to remove it ALL. Top endo consultants agree it ALL needs to be removed to prevent women from needing repeat surgeries. Once ALL removed it has a good outcome. Women deserve better than what we are getting in terms of consistent quality endo care."

Ha, that's my say. x
