Endometriosis and gynaecology
Many women wait years for an endometriosis diagnosis, and some are harmed by the surgery meant to help. These articles explain when that may be negligence.
An overview
Many women wait years for an endometriosis diagnosis. Claims can arise when symptoms were dismissed for too long, or when gynaecological surgery caused harm that should have been avoided.
At the milder endYears of pain and missed work before a diagnosis that could reasonably have been made sooner.
At the more serious endDamage to the bowel or bladder during surgery that needs further operations, or that affects fertility.
Every situation is different. What matters is what happened, how it has affected you, and whether the care fell below what was reasonable. Even where an injury is less severe, you may still be able to recover costs such as treatment and lost income.
