Help finding specialist

[Mummycox33]

Hi. I have just been sent a message saying my post has been removed

:(. I was just asking if anyone knew if the hospital I'm having lap done is a specialist place. I didnt mention any names of surgeons ect!! They said to look on the BSGE Which I have and this is useless. How the hell am I ment to find out where a specialist is??

Not sure what to do as I'm really worried about having lap done and want to make sure they look properly as I think I have endo in pod. Docs just say it's a good place and they will treat any endo they find. I'm not sure they know what they are talking about as when I tell them about my pains down my legs they look at me like I'm crazy!!

Any help would be great. Thanks xx

Hello. Actually the BSGE website is very helpful. It lists endometriosis specialists, colorectal surgeons, urologists, pain specialists and specialist endometriosis nurses for ALL the specialist endometriosis centres across the country. How is that useless?! I suggest you revisit it...

Hi lindle. Thanks for your message. I will have another look on BSGE website I looked the other day and it seemed very confusing. I just want to make sure they know what they are doing and they don't seem to be very helpful at the moment xx

If you go to the BSGE website and to the menu tab "Endometriosis Centres" down to the third option "BSGE accredited Endometriosis Centres" it will list all the hospitals who have gained accreditation. Having had rectovaginal endo, it is imperative you see an expert and not a general gynaecologist. From my experience, you have to do the groundwork and research yourself, as you sadly get little help, however, if you're prepared to do the work, continually ask questions, do your research and be firm in who you see, you will get there. Don't be fobbed off by anyone. You have to keep fighting, and, from experience, unfortunately the answers don't just land on your lap. Also, an expert wouldn't dismiss leg pain. It is all interlinked with endo.
