Advice about clinician

[ApplesM]

Hello,

I was looking for any advice on names of good female consultant/clinicians to talk about endometriosis! I have been diagnosed recently, but I don't feel completely at ease with my current clinician, does anyone have any advice they can share?

Thanks a lot

Maria

Hi

Names aren’t allowed here unfortunately. There is a Facebook group for Endo that allows names to be mentioned.

I would say if you aren’t happy with who you’ve seen ask GP for a referral elsewhere. When you had the diagnosis was that with laparoscopy or via symptoms? What help has gynae suggested?

Hi,

thanks for the info!! What's the name of the FB group?

I had to go private because the GP referral took more than 12 months to have just a telephone appointment; the diagnosis was based on symptoms, the US showed no visible lesion! I am on the coil and also have done three months of progesterone, which did not make any difference. 🙄 The coil I would say helps a bit, now instead of 5 days of pain, I have only one/two, but the ovulation is as painful as my period (which wasn't the case before!) 🤔

Endometriosis guidance and information, there is info about ultrasound specialists as well, Endo can show on US but they have to know what to look for so it’s still quite rare.

That’s sort of good about pain apart from ovulation as well, hormones are very tricky to balance. 🙄🙂
