Experience

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has had experience with <Removed in line with health unlocked t&cs>? I've had excision surgery for endometriosis in April 19, but I do still have pain, especially on my pelvic sides, and I have suspected adenomyosis. Therefore, I would like to get this investigated further to check with an ultra sound to see if this will be able to detect the cause of the pain, such as any remaining endometriosis or infection or anything else. I would also like to (if they refer me) to get a Hycosy done to check the fallopian tubes, to see if this maybe causing the pain? I know <Removed in line with healthunlocked t+c's> is the best for ultrasounds and he works at this hospital. If it is endo it would be good to be able to also see an endo specialist as well. I ideally would like to get this investigated before putting back my last embryos as I will not be doing anymore own egg fresh cycles due to my age. I had my excision surgery done at a hospital which was a bit further away from me and they thought if I do still have pain I may want to go to somewhere closer to me. They also advised that I should get referred to a pain clinic, which I think this clinic has?

I'm wondering if I should just go the hospital nearest to me, knowing they probably aren't the best for ultrasounds or ask to be referred to this place, I know waiting list will be long, so wanted to get some feedback from anyone who has been there before I ask.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am under the Endo unit they have been great. I had extensive excision surgery in May 2019, done by <Removed in line with healthunlocked t+c's> who was amazing. I would highly recommend the endo unit there. Make sure you are referred to the endo unit and not general gynaecology. Good luck

Wow are you allowed to give names of medical staff in this platform now? Because my comment was deleted once when I recommended an endo specialist 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hello.

We still ask that users of the forum do not mention specific hospitals or health professionals, this is part of our code of conduct. We understand that women want to make the best possible decisions when they are finding a doctor, but these will be very personal choices and what works for one person, may not be right for someone else. In addition negative comments could lead to legal issues if they are considered defamatory, with very serious consequences for Endometriosis UK and the health professional involved.

Best wishes

Thanks for this, I already knew about it, I just wanted to double check as I have seen many comments suggesting specific doctors.....
