New to the UK: Need to find a non-Lupron pushing Endo & Fibroid Specialist

Hello! I moved to the UK in October for graduate school at Oxford. I started to feel a lot more pain about three months ago and had ultra sounds, which found 5 new fibroids over 2.5.

I had laparoscopic surgery 2 years ago to remove many fibroids and clean up my endometriosis; however, it's back. I've had some problems before with specialists who push Lupron (I can't take it for a variety of underlying health conditions) and now I'm looking for a good surgeon who can do the excision surgery again without relying on Lupron. Do any of you have any recommendations, especially if they are around the Oxford/London area?

For context, my husband and I want to try for a child soon.

Thank you!

Katherine

Are you looking for NHS or private healthcare?

NHS. Don't have the money for private healthcare unfortunately. I'm covered by my University through the NHS

OK I will message you as we aren't allowed to discuss consultants on the forum

Lapron a dangerous med / drug I'd never recommend it - the doctors need to stop masking it and get inside to remove it entirely
