It is well established that endometriosis is a chronic, hormone-sensitive (to estrogen) disease. In present day, its exact etiology is unknown and, therefore, no cure currently exists. It is, therefore, evident that it is an extremely difficult to manage condition.
This led many patients, disappointed with the care they had received by their gynecologist, to seek the assistance of gynecologists with a particular interest in treating this chronic disease.
But what does it really mean to be an “expert” in the management of endometriosis? This is often confused with clinicians with some experience in the management of more complex cases of endometriosis. However, although training and assessment programs exist around the world, there is no universal acceptance of what it means to be an endometriosis “expert”.
Based on this, we take the opportunity to clarify our core principles in endometriosis care. These are:
- Wholistic patient care
- Patient-centred approach
- Individualisation of care
- Precise non-invasive diagnosis and pre-surgical mapping
- Radical surgical excision of endometriosis lesions with an aim to restore anatomy while preserving ovarian reserve and female fertility
- Teamwork: Multi-disciplinary care and collaboration with other healthcare professionals, as required
What you will not find is easy solutions from “experts” who promise a permanent and lifelong cure for endometriosis with zero recurrence rates. On the contrary, we are committed to listening to your concerns and offering a personalized management plan based on your needs and wishes.
If you suffer from endometriosis (or know someone who may do), please do not hesitate to contact us and we would be more than happy to help.
