What Is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a common long-term gynaecological condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows outside the uterus. It is estimated to affect around 1 in 10 women of reproductive age, making it one of the most common causes of chronic pelvic pain and painful periods in women.
These areas of endometriosis can develop around the ovaries, fallopian tubes, pelvis, bowel, bladder, and other surrounding structures. In some women, the condition may remain mild, while in others it can become more extensive and significantly affect day-to-day life.

Like the lining of the womb, this tissue responds to hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle. This can lead to inflammation, internal bleeding, irritation, scarring, and adhesions, often causing ongoing pelvic pain and other debilitating symptoms.
Endometriosis affects every woman differently. Some experience severe period pain, fatigue, bloating, pain during intercourse, or fertility difficulties that impact their work, relationships, confidence, and overall wellbeing. Others may have more subtle symptoms or only discover the condition during investigations for infertility or ongoing pelvic discomfort.
Despite being so common, many women live with symptoms for years before receiving a diagnosis, often believing their pain is something they simply have to tolerate.

Common Symptoms of Endometriosis

Endometriosis symptoms can vary significantly from one woman to another. Some women experience severe, life-limiting symptoms, while others may have milder or more subtle signs that gradually worsen over time.
One of the most common symptoms is severe period pain, particularly pain that interferes with work, daily activities, sleep, exercise, or quality of life. Many women also experience ongoing pelvic pain outside of their menstrual cycle, as well as heavy periods, lower back pain, pain during intercourse, bloating, digestive discomfort, fatigue, or pain when opening the bowels or passing urine.

Symptoms often worsen around menstruation or ovulation, although some women experience discomfort throughout the month. Endometriosis can also affect fertility, with some patients only discovering the condition during investigations for difficulty conceiving.
Because symptoms can overlap with other conditions, many women live with endometriosis for years before receiving the correct diagnosis. Persistent pelvic pain, unusually painful periods, or symptoms that continue affecting your wellbeing should never simply be dismissed as "normal".

When Should You See an Endometriosis Specialist?

Many women are told that painful periods are "normal", which can unfortunately delay diagnosis and treatment for years. While mild menstrual discomfort is common, severe or persistent pain should never be ignored, particularly when symptoms begin affecting your daily life, emotional wellbeing, relationships, work, or fertility.
You should consider seeing an endometriosis specialist if your periods are becoming increasingly painful, pain relief is no longer helping, or you are experiencing ongoing pelvic pain outside of your menstrual cycle. Symptoms such as bloating, fatigue, pain during intercourse, digestive discomfort, heavy bleeding, or pain when opening the bowels or passing urine may also suggest underlying endometriosis.

Specialist assessment is particularly important if you have been struggling with symptoms for a long period of time, previous treatments have not improved your condition, or you feel your concerns have been overlooked or dismissed. Some women also seek assessment during fertility investigations, as endometriosis can sometimes affect reproductive health.
Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment may help reduce progression of the condition, improve symptom control, and support long-term quality of life and fertility outcomes.

Private Endometriosis Diagnosis in London

Diagnosing endometriosis can sometimes be challenging, as symptoms often overlap with other gynaecological, urinary, or digestive conditions. Many women spend years searching for answers before receiving the correct diagnosis, particularly when symptoms fluctuate or do not appear clearly on routine investigations.
At Gynaecology Clinic London, we take a thorough and personalised approach to endometriosis assessment. Your consultation will include a detailed discussion about your symptoms, menstrual history, pain patterns, previous treatments, fertility goals, and overall health. Understanding how symptoms affect your daily life is an important part of building an accurate picture of your condition.
Dr Luxmi Velauthar, Consultant Gynaecologist, at her desk
Depending on your symptoms and clinical findings, investigations may include pelvic examination, ultrasound scanning, blood tests, MRI imaging, or further specialist investigations where appropriate. Advanced imaging can sometimes help identify ovarian endometriosis, cysts, adhesions, or more extensive disease affecting surrounding structures.
However, it is important to understand that mild or early-stage endometriosis may not always be visible on scans. A normal scan therefore does not always exclude the condition. Our specialists combine clinical expertise, symptom assessment, and appropriate investigations to guide diagnosis and develop the most suitable treatment plan for your individual needs.
Our aim is not only to identify the underlying cause of your symptoms, but also to help you move towards effective long-term symptom control, improved quality of life, and reassurance about your health moving forward.

Endometriosis Treatment Options

Hormonal Treatments

Hormonal treatments may help suppress endometriosis activity, reduce inflammation, and improve symptoms such as pelvic pain, painful periods, and heavy bleeding. Our specialists will discuss the most appropriate medical options based on your symptoms, medical history, and future fertility plans.

Pain Management

Chronic pelvic pain can significantly affect quality of life, sleep, work, exercise, and emotional wellbeing. Carefully tailored pain management strategies may help improve day-to-day comfort and reduce the ongoing impact symptoms have on daily life.

Lifestyle and Supportive Approaches

Endometriosis often affects more than physical symptoms alone. Some women benefit from nutritional guidance, pelvic physiotherapy, lifestyle adjustments, and holistic supportive approaches alongside medical treatment to help manage symptoms more effectively.

Fertility Planning

For women concerned about fertility, we provide supportive and personalised guidance regarding reproductive health, fertility planning, and onward fertility support where appropriate. We understand the uncertainty endometriosis can create for women trying to conceive and aim to provide clear, compassionate advice tailored to your individual circumstances.

Minimally Invasive Surgery

In some cases, laparoscopic surgery may be recommended to diagnose or treat endometriosis. Minimally invasive surgical treatment can help remove endometriosis tissue, reduce adhesions and inflammation, relieve symptoms, and in some situations improve fertility outcomes.

Our team will always explain treatment options clearly and honestly, ensuring you fully understand the potential benefits, limitations, and expected outcomes of each approach before making decisions about your care.

Endometriosis and Fertility

Endometriosis can sometimes affect fertility, particularly when inflammation, scar tissue, adhesions, or ovarian involvement interfere with normal reproductive function. For some women, difficulties conceiving may be one of the first signs that leads to an endometriosis diagnosis.
However, it is important to remember that many women with endometriosis still conceive naturally and go on to have healthy pregnancies. The impact of endometriosis on fertility can vary significantly depending on the severity and location of the disease, as well as individual reproductive factors.

At Gynaecology Clinic London, we understand how emotionally difficult fertility concerns can feel, especially when combined with ongoing pain and uncertainty about your health. Our specialists provide supportive, personalised guidance regarding reproductive health, fertility planning, investigations, and treatment options based on your individual circumstances and future goals.
Whether you are currently trying to conceive, considering pregnancy in the future, or seeking reassurance about your fertility, we are here to help you better understand your options and support you through the next steps of your care.

Endometriosis FAQs

When should I see a specialist for endometriosis symptoms?

You should consider specialist assessment if pelvic pain, painful periods, bloating, fatigue, or other symptoms are affecting your quality of life, daily activities, work, relationships, or fertility. Persistent or worsening symptoms should never simply be accepted as normal.

Is severe period pain normal?

Mild discomfort during periods can be common, but severe pain that affects work, sleep, exercise, or daily life is not considered normal and may indicate an underlying condition such as endometriosis.

Doctor reviewing ultrasound scan results with a patient
Can endometriosis affect fertility?

Yes, endometriosis can sometimes affect fertility, particularly when inflammation, scar tissue, or ovarian involvement is present. However, many women with endometriosis still conceive naturally, and early specialist assessment may help support fertility planning and treatment where appropriate.

Can endometriosis be missed on a scan?

Yes. Mild or early-stage endometriosis may not always appear clearly on ultrasound or MRI imaging. A normal scan therefore does not always exclude the condition, which is why specialist assessment remains very important.

What happens during an endometriosis consultation?

What treatments are available for endometriosis?

Do I need surgery for endometriosis?

Not all women with endometriosis require surgery. Some symptoms can be managed effectively with medication and supportive treatments, while others may benefit from minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery depending on symptom severity, fertility goals, and response to previous treatment.

Do I need a GP referral to see an endometriosis specialist?

No, a GP referral is not always required to book a private consultation at Gynaecology Clinic London. Many patients choose to self-refer for specialist assessment and treatment. Referrals from GPs and other healthcare professionals are also welcome.
