COPING WITH ENDOMETRIOSIS: A SECOND OPINION

Every woman should be aware that a second opinion is her right and she should never be made to feel guilty about wanting one.

A second opinion will give you peace of mind so it is essential that you get this from a specialist well-versed in the treatment of endometriosis and one who is well up on the latest research and technology. It is important that the doctor giving the second opinion is not in the same practice as the first doctor.

When should I get a second opinion

If you are unable to communicate with your doctor or you are uneasy about your doctor’s attitude, approach and explanations then you should seek a second opinion.

You should also obtain a second opinion if you are unsure about the type of treatment recommended, or if your doctor says there is nothing wrong with you.

If you do not feel that adequate tests and evaluations have been carried out or you wish to consult a doctor who has expertise in one particular aspect of the treatment of endometriosis — such as laser therapy or infertility — then seek a second opinion.

A second opinion is important for women who:

Have been recommended a hysterectomy.

Are told by their doctor that nothing further can be done to treat their disease.

Need reassurance that the treatment suggested by their first doctor is appropriate.
