Private gyno

[Lynzi]

hi does anyone know roughly how much it I to see a private gyno to try n get a diagnosis ?? X

Hi, I've just paid £180 for a London based gynae. Well worth it if you can afford it as its so much quicker.

k thanks I'm in Scotland but it will prob b roughly the same. Did u get diagnosed with Endo and did u stick with private treatment n get a laparoscopy or go back to nhs x

[AnnaB1979 in reply to Lynzi]

I was fortunate enough to get insurance through work so I have stuck with private for the lap and follow ups but I do know people who paid the private fee to see someone and then went down the NHS route to get it treated. I saw what the insurer paid for my laparoscopy and it was £2700 so there's no way I'd have been able to cover that myself. But that first consultation was invaluable and she does do NHS as do many private consultants. Good Luck.

ok thanks for all your help. I've been having symptoms fr about 6 years but the doc kept putting me off and not listening to me. She said my pains and not being able to fall pregnant after 4 n a half years isn't related. Which really annoyed me as shes not a gynocologist so she cant know that. I have spoke to people on this and been told by a few that it sounds like rectovaginal Endo. Xxx

That's appalling but not unfamiliar. I was fobbed off a million times to the point where I made it my personal mission to get listened to and hey presto! Keep pushing and don't take no for an answer, you're the best judge of what's real and how you feel. Take care

Hi AnnaB1979 would you happen to know how much it would cost for a full hysterectomy privately? 

[AnnaB1979 in reply to Hidden]

Hi there, just checked on my consultants website and it says £5000-6000. Phew...

[Hidden in reply to AnnaB1979]

Hi There

Wow, I honestly thought it would be much more than that. Which part of the country do you live in?

[AnnaB1979 in reply to Hidden]

I'm in London but on google it does say some can charge upto £8000 so I think it depends. 

[Hidden in reply to AnnaB1979]

I'm in Wiltshire 

[Lynzi]
