Endometriosis

Dear Mrs Harvey,

Endometriosis has a prevalence of about 10% in the
U.K.

This means 1 in every 10 women! It is a common disease
with well established international diagnostic and
therapeutic protocols. No medical doctor can ignore
endometriosis, delay laparoscopy for assessment, allow
disease to spread and increase in stage, without violating
the standards of “Good Medical Practice”!

Letting endometriosis reach stages 3 and 4 means
more pain and less fertility.

You have lost your job, your quality of life, part
of your sexual life due to dyspareunia and, maybe, your
fertility, all because some
medical doctors, in the past, ignored your condition and
delayed definitive laparoscopic diagnosis for 10 years!

In my Country these doctors would be severely
punished and you would be entitled to a substantial
indemnity, should you decide to bring them to a Court of Law
to face their ignorance and poor decision-making.

I get very upset in thinking that other women could
be suffering what you have suffered, simply because such
medical doctors are still practising.
