From my very first visit Dr Gnanachandran listened to what I was saying and was very thorough in my investigations prior to my surgery in March 2020. Background I have suffered from endometriosis for many years resulting in me having to have IVF in order for me to get pregnant and 2 years after having my son by c-section I had to have a hysterectomy. I was left with both ovaries but following complications had to have my right ovary taken out. Symptoms I had been gradually getting pains on my left hand side which over time progressively got worse to the point of it being constant pain which was dragging me down and had to control this on a daily basis with painkillers. It got to the point where I couldn’t cope with the pain anymore and was impacting my quality of life. Outcome From the results of my investigations Dr Gnanachandran gave me options of either carrying on as I was trying to manage the pain and do nothing or to have surgery to remove my remaining left ovary but I needed to be aware that it was risky having surgery due to my previous gynae history their would be lots of scar tissue and it may not even eliminate the pain. I couldn’t carry on so I agreed to the surgery understanding the risks and the outcome. Well all I can say is thank goodness I went ahead, thanks to Dr Gnanachandran I am now almost 6 weeks post-op and pain free. I am healing well and due back at work next week. After my op when Dr Gnanachandran came up to see me he told me he had managed to remove my remaining ovary but my endometriosis had come back and stuck everything together including my urethra and colon which he sorted out and he removed all my adhesions and generally gave me a good “clean out “ It was quite a mess but being the amazing surgeon he is he managed to get everything done which he set out to do and that was to restore my quality of life pain free. So if anyone is wondering who to be referred to who suffers or who has suffered with endometriosis I could not recommend anyone other than the excellent care of Dr Gnanachandran.
