Endometriosis

When you have endometriosis, tissue similar to your uterus lining grows where it shouldn’t. Symptoms can mimic those of a typical period but can be severe enough to impact your life. They can also affect your other pelvic organs, abdomen and diaphragm.

This is why it’s essential to seek endometriosis care from consultants familiar with this chronic, complex condition. Our endometriosis experts also work collaboratively with other Cleveland Clinic London consultants to ensure you get the care you need.

In addition to our private gynaecologists and our endometriosis nurse specialist, your care team may include colorectal, upper gastrointestinal (GI) and thoracic surgeons, as well as:

• Radiologists
• Urologists
• Dietitians
• Physiotherapists
• Pain management consultants

When you undergo treatment for endometriosis at Cleveland Clinic London, your symptoms and needs play central roles as we craft your personalised care plan. Most often, surgery is the standard treatment, particularly if you have severe endometriosis.

Surgery

Your care team may decide that endometriosis surgery is the best treatment path. We’ll remove tissue growth and repair organ damage using minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopic and robotic surgery.

These methods require only small incisions, typically lead to faster recovery and are more protective of your bowel, bladder and nerve function. Minimally invasive surgery is also less disruptive to your uterus and ovaries and may help preserve fertility.

Fertility preservation support

Endometriosis can affect your fertility. If you wish to start or expand your family, we can perform fertility evaluations. These appointments typically involve a physical examination, ultrasound and blood tests. We use what we learn to determine how likely you will be able to conceive on your own or if you may benefit from seeing a fertility specialist. We can also discuss fertility preservation options.

If your endometriosis returns

Even if treatment is successful, endometriosis is chronic and can be notoriously persistent. Your symptoms may come back over time, especially if you have a severe case. If this happens, your care team will reevaluate your condition and go over a revised treatment plan with you.

Paying for Endometriosis Treatment

We offer transparent pricing for all services related to your treatment. We also ensure your estimate reflects the most accurate rates possible for your proposed care plan before treatment starts. For your convenience, you may choose to self-pay or use private medical insurance. Have questions? Our experienced self-pay specialists are here to guide you through every step.
