What is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis occurs when endometrial-like tissue grows outside the uterus and responds to hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle. This can cause inflammation, scarring, and chronic pelvic pain.
Although symptoms vary widely, the condition can significantly affect quality of life, fertility, and daily activities if left untreated.
Early diagnosis and specialist care are important for managing symptoms and preventing complications.
Symptoms of Endometriosis
Common symptoms include:
- Painful periods (dysmenorrhoea)
- Chronic pelvic or lower abdominal pain
- Pain during or after sexual intercourse
- Painful bowel movements or urination during periods
- Heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding
- Infertility or difficulty conceiving
- Bloating, fatigue, or nausea during periods
Some women have severe symptoms, while others may have minimal discomfort despite extensive disease.
If you experience persistent pelvic pain or severe period pain that affects your daily life, it may be important to seek specialist assessment.
Endometriosis Diagnosis in Birmingham & Midlands
Diagnosing endometriosis can sometimes be complex. Studies show women may wait several years before receiving a diagnosis, making early specialist assessment particularly important.
At Midlands Women’s Health, we provide a structured diagnostic pathway that may include:
Specialist Consultation
A detailed discussion of your symptoms, menstrual history, and medical background with a Consultant Gynaecologist.
Advanced Pelvic Ultrasound
Ultrasound scans can help identify ovarian cysts (endometriomas) and other pelvic abnormalities.
MRI Imaging
MRI scans may be recommended to map deep endometriosis affecting organs such as the bowel or bladder.
EndoSure® Testing
A non-invasive assessment that can help support the evaluation of suspected endometriosis in selected patients.
Laparoscopy (if required)
In some cases, minimally invasive keyhole surgery may be recommended to confirm diagnosis and treat endometriosis simultaneously.
Treatment for Endometriosis
Treatment is tailored to each patient based on:
- Severity of symptoms
- Age and reproductive goals
- Location and extent of disease
- Response to previous treatments
Options may include:
Medical Treatment
Hormonal therapies and pain management to reduce inflammation and control symptoms.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Laparoscopic surgery can remove endometriosis lesions and scar tissue, helping relieve pain and improve fertility outcomes.
Fertility Support
For patients trying to conceive, we provide fertility assessment and referral pathways where appropriate.
Long-Term Symptom Management
Lifestyle advice, multidisciplinary support, and ongoing monitoring may help manage symptoms over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
The exact cause is not fully understood. Possible factors include retrograde menstruation (where menstrual blood flows backward into the pelvis), genetic predisposition, immune system changes, and hormonal influences.
Symptoms such as severe period pain, chronic pelvic pain, pain during intercourse, and fertility difficulties may indicate endometriosis. If these symptoms affect your daily life, a specialist gynaecology consultation is recommended.
Yes. Endometriosis can affect fertility by causing inflammation, scar tissue, or damage to reproductive organs. However, many women with endometriosis can still conceive naturally or with fertility treatment.
Diagnosis may involve a specialist consultation, pelvic ultrasound, MRI scans, or minimally invasive laparoscopy. Some patients may also benefit from non-invasive tests such as EndoSure®.
There is currently no permanent cure, but treatments can effectively manage symptoms, reduce pain, and improve fertility outcomes.
No. At Midlands Women’s Health, you can self-refer and book a private consultation directly with one of our specialist gynaecologists.
