Consultant appointment

[HE12]

Hi all looking for some advice please. I was referred to a fertility clinic and on my initial visit they did a transvaginal scan and found what the nurse believed to be an endometrioma behind my right ovary. This was then confirmed by the same nurse after a second scan. I have an appointment to see the consultant next week which I'm quite nervous about, does anyone have any advice on what questions I should be asking. Thank you.

Sorry to hear. My advice is to educate yourself. Read as much as you can - here, on endometriosis-uk.org/, look for Nancy Nook endo group on FB.

Find out about the consultant- are they an endo specialist?

If not, the chances are they’ll start you on a wrong path- even the NHS’s webpage on endo isn’t very good, and many dr’s don’t really know what to do. Do it’s up to us to learn.

All the best x

Thank you for replying. I'll have a look at the webpage and group you recommend.

I'm guessing they won't be an endo specialist since it's a fertility clinic I'm going to.
