S2E12 - Navigating an Endometriosis Diagnosis, with Dr. Shaheen Khazali

This episode, we will be talking about how to navigate an endo diagnosis, and the process, especially for those that are resident in the UK.  Dr. Shaheen Khazali is an internationally renowned expert in advanced endometriosis surgery. His practice, both on the NHS and privately, is almost exclusively dedicated to looking after women with the most severe forms of endometriosis when the disease has affected other organs such as the bowel, bladder, ureters and pelvic nerves. He also sees and treats women with other benign gynaecological conditions such as heavy menstrual bleeding, ovarian cysts and menstrual disorders. He is also an NHS Consultant at Ashford and St Peter’s Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (ASPH) in Surrey. ASPH has a long history in the treatment of severe endometriosis for many years and was one of the first few centres accredited for treatment of severe endometriosis by the British Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (BSGE). In 2012 Mr Khazali co-founded CEMIG (Centre for Endometriosis and Minimally Invasive Gynaecology) at ASPH, which has been one of the busiest accredited centres for the treatment of severe endometriosis in the UK. In 2018 and again in 2019, CEMIG treated more patients than any other accredited endometriosis centre in the UK, making it the busiest BSGE centre in the country.
