The KEVII Endometriosis Team
What is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a condition where cells similar to those in the lining of the womb (uterus) are found elsewhere in the body. Each month, these cells react in the same way as those in the womb, building up, breaking down, and bleeding. Unlike the cells in the womb that leave the body as a period, this blood has no way to escape, causing inflammation, pain, and the formation of scar tissue.
Could Endometriosis be affecting your quality of life?

Endometriosis can significantly impact a person’s life in several ways, including:
- Chronic pain
- Fatigue/lack of energy
- Depression/isolation
- Problems with a couple’s sex life/relationships
- An inability to conceive.
- Difficulty in fulfilling work and social commitments.
Endometriosis is the second most common gynecological condition in the UK. The cause of endometriosis is unknown, and there is no definite cure, however the treatments we provide aim to reduce the severity of symptoms and improve the quality of life for someone living with the condition.
Get the diagnosis and treatment you need to take back control, with support from the multidisciplinary team of experts at The King Edward VII’s Endometriosis. Our multidisciplinary team provides high-quality, evidence-based care that aims to assess and treat women with all grades of endometriosis ranging from mild disease to the most severe form involving the bladder and bowel.
If you are suffering with endometriosis, you may find that this chronic and debilitating condition is having a significant impact on your life. It can affect all women of child bearing age and currently 1.5m women in the UK are living with this condition.
Endometriosis can be a difficult condition for a GP to diagnose due to the variations between symptoms. However, our specialist gynaecology team can give you access to a full range of diagnostic tests including ultrasound and laparoscopy.
Endometriosis is a long-term condition that requires accurate treatment – begin your journey back to health with the fully comprehensive service available at King Edward VII’s Hospital.

One to one support from our Clinical Nurse Specialist
When a patient has been referred and decides on surgical treatment our nurse specialist Renata Marucha will be involved from the early stages. She will talk the patient through any wider issues, taking into account the patient’s needs.
Renata will also be there as a point of contact throughout the treatment, during what can often be a confusing and worrying time. She will provide advice for patients after discharge and give women contact details of the endometriosis specialist nurse, and can make contact if problems develop.
