What is Endometriosis centre ?

Endometriosis is a chronic, difficult and debilitating disease with serious physical implications for those women unfortunate enough to suffer from it. It can involve a number of organs and cause painful periods, pelvic pain, ‘dyspareunia’, (painful intercourse), bowel pain and urinary problems. In addition endometriosis can also cause infertility in many patients making it difficult to conceive.

This complex disease affects every aspect of life including physical, mental, social, fertility and psychosexual health. Often invalidated, misunderstood or neglected by the medical community, many sufferers may struggle in silence.

Given the complex nature of this disease, endometriosis requires a team approach, with experts working together in a seamless fashion to deliver good multidisciplinary care. The Endometriosis Centre team, led by Consultant Gynaecologist, Mr Amer Raza, also includes world class laparoscopic colorectal and urological surgeons, a pain specialist and fertility experts. We believe in holistic care of patients with this difficult disease, and have also partnered with a psychosexual counsellor and a nutritionist to help with difficult personal health and wellbeing issues caused by endometriosis. We believe we offer a first-class service for patients and their families.
