I have now been waiting 35 weeks to see a consultant for my endometriosis and that is for an urgent referral, which I know as I checked with my GP. It is already diagnosed I just want excision surgery to treat it again as it’s now worse than before the initial ablation.
When it did get diagnosed through the infertility service in NHS Lanarkshire I was referred in the January, saw the consultant in the May and had surgery in the July. I feel like I don't matter to them anymore because I’m not trying to get pregnant, I’m just a woman in agony.
I have called the referral management team once and was told that an urgent Gyn referral will probably take a year! I’ve had disciplinary action at work for my absence because it’s so bad but there’s nothing I can do to get seen. Currently crying from the pain as I write this.
