Just getting diagnosed and need help finding the right specialist

Hi everyone, I've just started the process of diagnosing endo. I've read in some posts that you can get an endo specialists rather than a gynaecologist. How do you find one? I have private health insurance if that helps.

And another question has anyone successfully dealt with endo without a surgery?

Thanks a lot x

Hallo! The specialists belong to a group called BSGE - you can search for a BSGE centre from their website: bsge.org.uk/centre/. Some are NHS, others are private, others are both, and each centre should say how you can be referred to them.

What I did was find a couple of centres near me, printed out their details, and asked my GP to refer me.

Not what you're looking for?
