Not sure what to think....

Hi all, hope you're doing ok.

After giving up hope of seeing the gynae through the nhs I went to my first private appointment on Friday.

Without looking at my ultrasound (said he hadn't received a copy), he has decided that the Doctors are wrong about me having endo as "it doesn't show up on an ultrasound" and "you have the implant which is one of the treatments so it can't be endo". He just kept saying it's my bowel and to take laxatives.

He didn't ask me many questions about my pain, family history, etc either.

He was happy to book me in for a Lap, which I have but he said "it most probably won't find anything so you won't be any further forward", I did say back that I wouldn't be any further forward if we didn't do it though.

After having the weekend to process, I phoned the hospital yesterday. The scan is on the system he just hadn't seen it, so I called another number and had a little bit of a moan, they have now booked me in for a phone call with him and made note that he has to look at the scan. It obviously showed up something for the scan person and doctor to both say the same thing.

Am I overreacting?

I'm now worried that if he has decided that everyone is wrong, then will the lap be done properly?

Hiya, the beauty of private healthcare is that you can chose another doctor / consultant. I’d do some research and book in with someone who is a specialist in endo - this guy can’t be if he thinks it shows up on an ultrasound and that an implant is an endo treatment 🤦🏻‍♀️

I think if you have someone else then you’ll feel more confident and relaxed in their care and that’s really important, especially as endo doesn’t just disappear so you’ll likely need further support and treatment if they do find it long term xx
