Hi everyone I’m wondering if any of you can help. I was diagnosed with endometriosis around 2017 and had an operation for it in 2018. This improved my symptoms for a few years but I’m at the point where I feel like a new operation/seeing a gynaecologist will be beneficial as my periods are horrendous again
I guess my question is if I was to go to my GP and ask to be referred to a gynaecologist, so I can discuss treatment options with them, is it just as straight forward as me saying in my appointment ‘I have endometriosis and would like to be referred to a gynaecologist for some help’? It’s a new doctors for me so I’m not sure how good they are or not.
Secondly can anyone give me a rough idea of what to expect in terms of wait times for a referral and how quickly or slowly things are moving?
I would appreciate any help as it’s been a few years since I’ve had to go through this and I’m already an anxious person when it comes to doctors appointments. Thank you 🙂
