Endometriosis is a long-term condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows elsewhere in the pelvis. It can cause significant pain and may affect fertility.
We understand that endometriosis symptoms are often dismissed or misunderstood. At our clinic, we take your concerns seriously and provide supportive, individualised care to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

You may wish to book an appointment if you experience:
- Severe period pain
- Pelvic pain outside of your period
- Pain during or after intercourse
- Heavy or irregular periods
- Pain when opening your bowels or passing urine during your period
- Difficulty conceiving
If you feel your symptoms are affecting your daily activities, relationships or emotional wellbeing, we are here to listen and guide you through your options.
Ziwig – a simpler way to investigate endometriosis
Struggling with symptoms but facing long waits or invasive tests? There are now newer options that may help speed up diagnosis.
Ziwig is a saliva-based test designed to support the diagnosis of endometriosis without the need for surgery.
It works by analysing tiny markers in your saliva (called microRNA) that are linked to endometriosis. This can help identify the condition earlier and guide next steps in your care.
Ziwig may be suitable if:
-
You have symptoms suggestive of endometriosis
-
You are waiting for further investigations
-
You would prefer a non-invasive test option
