It is accepted that a certain amount of discomfort comes with the menstrual cycle, but how much is too much? Very painful periods, excessive bleeding or pain during sex can be an indication that you have endometriosis.
This painful disorder is caused by tissue that normally lines the uterus, growing in areas on the outside of the uterus.
If you are concerned that endometriosis is the cause of your symptoms, make an appointment at BMI Ross Hall Hospital’s Endometriosis Centre for a diagnosis.

BMI Ross Hall Hospital, a recognised British Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (BSGE) Provisional Endometriosis Centre in Glasgow, can tailor a treatment plan to help.
Endometriosis Centres were established to ensure patients were treated by gynaecologists with appropriate laparoscopic surgical expertise, and with staff trained to manage and monitor the condition.
At BMI Ross Hall Hospital, you can expect dedicated care from initial enquiry through to the completion of your treatment.

Diagnosis, treatment and care
At your initial consultation you will be seen by a lead gynaecologist who reviews your symptoms, any previous investigations and treatments, and discusses the impact endometriosis is having on your day-to-day life.
As the effects of endometriosis can vary hugely between women, you will be provided with a personalised recommended treatment plan.
There may be medical treatments offered, such as adjusting hormone levels, or a surgical procedure such as a laparoscopy … which can usually be carried out in a day without the need to stay overnight.

Is treatment expensive?
As there are many treatment options available it could be less than you would first expect. After your initial consultation you would be provided with a detailed quote to let you know the exact price and everything that it includes.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
