Endometriosis Clinic – Cape Town

Endometriosis Clinic - Cape Town

Endometriosis Clinic - Cape Town in Foreshore is a specialised multidisciplinary centre dedicated exclusively to the diagnosis and management of endometriosis. Located in the heart of Cape Town’s Foreshore precinct, the practice combines advanced imaging, surgical expertise, and holistic therapies. Moreover, the clinic’s founder—a gynaecologist with a fellowship in minimally invasive surgery—leads a team that includes pain specialists, physiotherapists, dietitians, and counsellors. Consequently, every patient receives truly comprehensive, patient-centred care that addresses both physical symptoms and emotional well-being.

Furthermore, Endometriosis Clinic – Foreshore employs the latest transvaginal ultrasound protocols and pelvic MRI techniques to pinpoint disease extent accurately. As a result, treatment plans rest on precise staging, which enhances surgical planning and postoperative outcomes. In addition, the team emphasises ongoing education—offering seminars and support groups—to empower women with knowledge about their condition.

Services

Endometriosis Clinic – Foreshore delivers a suite of personalised services, each structured around evidence-based protocols, specialised equipment, and active patient involvement:

• Advanced Diagnostic Imaging
  We use high-resolution transvaginal ultrasound and pelvic MRI to map endometriotic lesions, adhesions, and ovarian endometriomas. Consequently, we achieve accurate staging that guides targeted therapy.

• Laparoscopic Excision Surgery
  Moreover, our gynaecological surgeon performs nerve-sparing, minimally invasive excisions of endometriotic implants. Therefore, patients experience reduced blood loss, less scarring, and faster recovery.

• Pain Management Programmes
  We integrate pharmacologic regimens—including NSAIDs and hormonal modulators—with pelvic-floor physiotherapy. As a result, patients gain both immediate relief and long-term functional improvements.

• Pelvic-Floor Physiotherapy
  In small groups or one-on-one sessions, physiotherapists teach myofascial release, biofeedback, and core-stabilisation exercises. Consequently, muscle tension decreases and pelvic-pain episodes lessen.

• Hormonal Therapy Consultation
  We offer evidence-based counselling on GnRH agonists, progestins, and combined oral contraceptives. Therefore, patients can choose tailored regimens that balance symptom control with fertility goals.

• Dietary & Lifestyle Coaching
  Through anti-inflammatory diet plans, nutraceutical recommendations, and stress-management workshops, our dietitians and counsellors support symptom reduction and emotional resilience.

• Fertility Preservation Advice
  We provide ovarian-reserve testing, egg-freezing referrals, and fertility-specialist collaboration for women planning pregnancy. Consequently, patients make informed decisions about family-building options.

• Support Groups & Education
  Finally, we host monthly workshops on pain-management skills, surgical expectations, and self-care techniques. Additionally, our peer-support circles foster community and shared learning.

Each service emphasises a collaborative patient experience. Moreover, the team reviews progress at regular intervals, ensuring that care plans adapt to each woman’s evolving needs.
