Dr. Gabriel Mitroi

For me it's not even about the wait times. I'm terrified for a Canadian surgeon to touch me here. They think they know endometriosis and it's after surgery you find out they don't. I am way less nervous or scared of putting my life in Mitroi's hands than I am at the thought of anyone maiming me here. Women are dying in Canada from horrible endometriosis healthcare and it's disgusting. He's one of the few and best in the world with his team and online they even have the medical journal of endometriosis from A-Z. I trust the man that wrote the book on my disease hands down.

https://drvidali.com/ That's the surgeon who has put this concept of travelling to where the need is for Endo excision to help more women receive care. He's been in practice for Endo since 1996 and is very responsive on his insta account and shares vast amounts of info. Endometriosis_suregon I believe his main clinic was out of NYC but if you are that close already id just message them about their locations. He responds back very quickly. I'm flying to Bucharest Romania for surgery with Dr. Mitroi. I had it booked when the Tijuana location was set up with vidali but those are the only two surgeons so far I'd trust my life to and recommend to anyone asking. They're the top in the world. https://bucharestendometriosiscenter.com/ If you go to their page and scroll down the main page there's a manual that was written by the specialist team there called endometriosis A-Z. It's a massively great resource to have with up to date information.

I spent the last decade feeling that way. To be honest I had given up because I figured I was just going to be stuck in it being told there's nothing wrong with me over and over again. Had my first surgery in October of 2023 got diagnosed and had excision. Pain relief lasted four months before it came back even worse. Last week I had surgery at the Bucharest endometriosis center. I had an MRI there for $550 cad that showed all the Endo everywhere they said didn't exist and can't be seen in MRI. They also found 60% more Endo in areas my first surgeon didn't even note as being there. Before my first surgery I couldn't walk well, if I sneezed or coughed my legs would buckle like a knife was being plunged into my back. They found Endo in my first surgery all over my left uterosacral ligament and it was better for the four months before my entire right side of my leg and hip went out and I couldn't walk again. Surgery here found Endo all over my right uterosacral ligament that wasn't even seen in my first one by the surgeon who wasn't skilled enough to even be doing it I. The first place. What she had taken out had grown back from improper excision, she left me with adhesions everywhere. Left it on my bowel and ureter even when she knew that was there. When my pain came back I went back to get help and told it wasn't endometriosis and I have fibromyalgia both of which they would do nothing about so instead of ending my misery I flew to Romania and for $7200 I'm coming home with no Endo left on anything and the possibility now of having a baby which had been a pipe dream for the last decade. In Canada they still tell me Endo doesn't cause pain. And yet I fly to the Bucharest clinic with dr. mitroi and his team validated everything and more importantly had the skills to remove it all. I lost well over $7200 in one year from missed work. I'm coming back today from Bucharest and I'll be damned if I ever take the bull shit again in BC now that I have all my MRI images and a copy of everything they found. There is hope. It's not fricken easy and it was scary as shit when I first planned it but it's the single best thing I've done. I now know that when it comes to Endo in Canada .. it's a waste of time. My surgeon here even said fibromyalgia isn't a thing outside of Canada and the US. Pain isn't unexplained it's just not looked for enough and without a lap in Canada you can't get images off the MRIs because they don't use the gel that amplifies the visuals like Bucharest does. Something so simple to implement like their system of MRI could properly diagnose women and give them sanity back just by not gaslighting them. Being in Romania is cheap. Their dollar the lei is .30 cents to cad. Which makes for an affordable stay and air bnb is all over. Save your sanity and just email them or dr. Vidali out of NYC. He's doing surgeries in Tijuana Mexico right now to make it easier for Canadians to get the surgery they need and it's an inclusive package for $15 000. Both are very responsive. Don't give up hope! If I hadn't gone I'd have lost my kidney within the year. You are not the problem our health care system ignoring Endo is. When I first thought about the idea it felt impossible and yet... Things can happen that change everything. Doesn't matter how complicated the case is they have surgeons for every structure. Also they have a free medical journal called endometriosis A-Z that you can click to download from their website that gives factual up to date information about treatment, symptoms, where pain can present the whole bit. Highly recommend reaching out. At the very least to just talk to a surgeon who will validate these feelings. https://bucharestendometriosiscenter.com/

I had a chocolate cyst and that actually was the only thing that wasn't found in my second surgery. I can't say for sure this was what had helped but I was told to take NAC which is an amino acid that's studied to bring down inflammation even in COPD patients but the happy fact is it actually has been shown to shrink cysts and fibroids. Designs for health is the brand i use since it was the recommended one. You could also just email questions to mitroi or vidali about your situation to have another opinion if you feel lost. It's not easy and I only say that because I had trust in my surgeon until I found out I shouldn't have. Not saying yours is a bad one but when it comes to Endo these two just know exactly what they're looking at and all the forms Endo can take. Some surgeons just don't know what every kind looks like. Also I say to contact them because they're very validating and it helped my mental health so much to just have someone have a conversation without having to explain the back story. Its been odd actually, even with them it took a few conversations for me to actually stop feeling like I had to convince them it was Endo and not something else. Nice to talk to someone who actually responds back with further info rather than just "yup Endo is a tough one" Sending healing vibes lady ❤️ everyone has their way of managing I only speak on my story because I had never heard or talked about going anywhere for help. It has taken me going there to actually realize how much help there definitely isn't in Canada that I had assumed there was. Canada and the us have become very similar in what they do with diseases like if one approved it or says something is such and way then by default Canada does to when in reality we should be simply letting the real professional Endo surgeons re write the treatment plans not the government or medical companies. I'll keep flying to Bucharest simply because the system of it in North America is actually pretty disgusting when you step outside of it. 😥🤬

No. The healthcare for endometriosis in Canada and the states isn't designed in any other way other than to use pharmaceuticals like birth control to bandaid endometriosis symptoms. Taking those medications does not change the spread, severity, or growth of Endo it simply masks some of the painful symptoms and therfore does nothing but bandaid the pain for some women and in others make the depression and anxiety that is part of Endo even worse. Help for some who have few options or care from the health system. For me I can personally attest to full and proper excision surgery being the only effective treatment I have had. Not all surgeries are the same and your physical symptoms will be greatly decided by what doctor you are asking. I personally do not trust surgeons in Canada for endometriosis after having my first one there and my second last week in Romania at the Bucharest endometriosis center. There I was correctly treated and had 60% more endometriosis lesions removed that were not noted or even seen by the surgeon who did my first lap and excision in BC. I had severe symptoms persist after my first surgery and was told endometriosis doesn't cause pain so I have "fibromyalgia" which is just a diagnosis name for unexplained pain that lasts more than six months. When my surgery in Bucharest was complete the pain was gone aside from surgical pain in recovery which was nothing close to the pain of Endo daily. I regained full mobility in my hips and lower back and even went so far as to notice a complete balance of my hormones when for the first time the acne, bloating and hormonal hair growth simply disappeared. I also lost 9 lbs right out of surgery simply due to inflammation. And MRI in Romania to map out and see endometriosis is $550 cad and my surgery including bowel Endo was $7200 total. Going there was the best thing I've done in this lifetime. The validation and actual health care is by far better than anything I've had or heard of for Endo in Canada and for the rest of my days I'll be flying back there the ticket was $3100 round trip but I booked during peak season simply because I just wanted to get there fast because I couldn't function. They book you in within 3 months of contacting them and do surgeries on people from all over the world so their office is very organized when explaining travel and stay and all that. Endo isn't the problem for us here it's the country we are in that's the problem. It can and is treated and women have their lives back in one surgery. Dr. Vidali and dr. Mitroi I would trust with my life and if you contact them you'll see what is truth and what lies in Endo care and the lack there of there are. Pills won't change anything. Never could and never will. Any excision surgeon will tell you that. Sending hugs. It's not ok how we are treated. We are just patients creating profits.

https://bucharestendometriosiscenter.com/ Hey ❤️ All of us start out now knowing what endometriosis actually is or does and learn through the years how much Endo affects the entire body not just one part. Endometriosis has no cure so a hysterectomy will not change the Endo but cures adenomyosis which is heavy bleeding but all contained to the uterus unlike Endo. Do not let anyone tell you a hysterectomy will cure or help Endo it will not. After 11 years of the run around I recently flew for surgery at the Bucharest endometriosis center in Romania with a very very exceptional team of endometriosis excision specialists that know Endo in and out. Dr. Vidali is also another amazing wealth of knowledge out of NYC and he's been working in Endo since 1996 follow his insta account to learn a hell of a lot endometriosis_surgeon on insta can't miss him he has recognizable black frame glasses. But anyway, if you go to the link above and scroll half way down the page there is a manual called endometriosis A-Z that is a handbook for up to date FACTUAL information all put together by mitroi and his team of Endo surgeons. (They pretty well have a specialist member on the team for every organ and any issue you can think of) It's free to download and If you read through it you'll learn more about your disease than your doctor will know. Find what applies print the page bring it in and don't take no for an answer when you have factual medically documented information proving what you're saying. The manual gives you power to say no with facts so I recommend everyone download it. Flying there was the best thing I ever did and now knowing the huge difference we get here in care I show everyone because it saved my life to read it quite literally. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely ❤️ I only got diagnosed last year after 11 years of pain I literally couldn't stand to be in my own body for anymore. I got to the point it was so bad that I was actually looking into what MAID is because I lost hope. I had my surgery in Bucharest on the 21st and I literally have nothing going wrong in there at all right now. They were able to remove it even off my bowel and ureter which in Canada they said was too sensitive of an area and literally just left it there. I was still in pain they knew it was there and said oh well take birth control then. Don't give up on getting proper care. Dr. Vidali is also an amazing surgeon and he does travel to different areas to do them. He's been in practice with Endo since 1996 and is an amazing wealth of knowledge and also very easy to contact with questions. I'd trust dr. Mitroi and vidali with my life any day of the week. Endometriosis_surgeon is his name on instagram and he's awesome. Super funny guy to. You are not and never will be alone ❤️ I've learned that expecting doctors to listen and understand just can't happen here when they only were given an hour training on Endo in med school, I asked my gp. You only want experts touching you for surgery anyway so don't give up, I almost did and now I'm getting rid of the damn wheelchair. 💪🎗️💗

Firstly do not in any way at all let them do ablation on you. Ablation is burning and what that does is cause scar tissue. Your symptoms sound like mine and that would be bowel Endo/ ureter which most surgeons are not skilled enough to remove and only qualified Endo excision specialists know what various forms and colors Endo can present with. Bowel Endo as well as uterosacral ligament Endo is why my right hip hurt so bad I couldn't walk. https://bucharestendometriosiscenter.com/ Before you have any surgeon touch you go to this website and scroll half way down the page to where the free download of the Endometriosis A-Z manual is. Dr. Mitroi and his team have put together an Endo bible so to speak of everything up to date and factual on Endo treatment, diagnosis etc. Ablation is never done by anyone who knows Endo well. Removing tubes and other organs should only be done by qualified surgeons and it doesn't sound like yours are the right ones for this particular issue. Dr. Vidali is another very experienced surgeon who would give you amazing advice Endometriosis_surgeon on insta. He also responds on his page to questions so I would reach out to either of them Vidal or mitroi before going ahead. I recently had surgery in Romania with mitroi and was horrified to learn what had been done in Canada was not only back but they missed 60% of it entirely. Just my two cents. Sending hugs because I know this is the not fun part. 🎗️❤️

Who did you see? Di.vidali and dr. Mitroi are the only two I feel like I'll go to for my lifetime now. Honestly I had no idea how messed up my surgery in Canada made me until I went to romania. I hate that we only get to realize what things are through so much damn work and anguish.

I totally get the sentiment. I felt the same after 11 years being told I was fine when I had severe Endo completely debilitating me. I got to the point where I couldn't eat properly (bowel Endo) could walk (left/right uterosacral ligament Endo) and said eff it to Canada because in my first surgery what they wrote down as being there after surgery became law to every single physician I went to after. I got my diagnosis through lap in October had surgery to remove what they found but the problem started after the surgery. I had debilitating hip pain on my right side. Couldn't walk, couldn't function at all and I kept being told I had fibromyalgia even with my Endo diagnosis. Fibromyalgia also has no cure because it's nothing but "unexplained pain that lasts more than six months " so I was pretty well shafted and told sorry about your luck. No doc would help me in hospitals or clinics because they don't consider Endo to be painful. This year BC women's hospital did a survey of 600 women about weather surgery reduces pain and it's just now that they found that it does from that survey. Mind you this happened after I had my follow up with my first surgeon who directly looked me in the eyes when I told her my back pain had gone away and said she had no idea why that would be even though she knew she took Endo off my left ligament. In my second surgery I found out she not only didn't do excision correctly she completely missed 60% more Endo I had including my right tendon she was working on my left.... Because she stated there only was what she said there was I got blacklisted and told I was a hypochondriac for coming in with pain. Well... I think you can guess how I feel now. We have uneducated surgeons cutting up people's bodies not even understanding what they're looking at, how to take it out correctly, and in my case...she didn't even know all the variations of Endo lesions and yet she's in my body with a knife. It's sickening. Found. Out later she did the same to another person exactly. What that tells me is ... They don't and have not given a shit if its just now in 2024 that we are coming to the realization in medical fields that Endo causes pain. https://bucharestendometriosiscenter.com/ I flew to Romania for proper excision surgery with Dr. Mitroi who is amazing at what he does. The link above is the website of their office but if you scroll half way down the page there is a free download button to download the Endometriosis A-Z manual which was put together by mitroi and his group of excellent surgeons with pure experience with Endo. You'll find everything in there, I print pages and bring them with me to my appointments because now I'm not staying in pain now that I've had surgery and got my movement back. I'll never let them force me into disability again. I had no idea how much of my body was being held hostage by Endo until my surgery in Romania. My surgery in BC was not done correctly and came back within 4 months. Read the manual front to back and know that this disease is exactly how you feel it is and if anyone tells you it's not move on and file a complaint on the doc because this shits old now and I'm sick of seeing women consistently abused in healthcare. 🤬

For your research I can save you some searching. https://bucharestendometriosiscenter.com/ If you scroll half way down the page there is a free download of the endometriosis A-Z manual that was written by dr. Mitroi and his Endo surgical team. Endo is all they do, and they are damn good at it so I hope you find the info in there helpful it definitely helped me walk into offices with way more confidence that I wouldn't be told I'm wrong like usual.

You have to take into consideration there are very very few true endometriosis excision specialists who do the job right. So for many people he's surgery is necessary for the disease and mobility can be restored as well as fertility IF you go to the right surgeon and research the hell out of them. They are not all the same and after having my first in Canada and my second in Romania I can guarantee you that the effects of surgery are very much life altering in the best of ways IF it's done right. Shitty surgeons that are just obgyns are guessing at what they're doing in people. The right ones dr. Gabriele mitroi and dr. Vidali are two that I would put my life in their hands any day of the week. The problem isn't that surgery doesn't help it does. Shitty surgery doesn't help and that's mostly what we got.

https://bucharestendometriosiscenter.com/ I just had surgery last month in Romania and the Bucharest endometriosis center. Dr. Mitroi and his surgical specialists team have put together a free download that's half way down their main page thats called endometriosis A-Z This e book is all their info and experience in an easy to read format that can absolutely help you through your appointments. I'm sick of being told my Endo isn't my Endo and the bull shit docs here who haven't been and are not being trained in proper endometriosis surgically or simply at the gp level. I can tell you for Canada at least the government allocated 1.6 million for Endo to only two organizations. I'm sure they are doing some good things but it's nothing that is ACTUALLY needed like docs learning wtf Endo really is instead of the biased god complex of a style now where they get to tell women what will and won't be done for their condition while simultaneously causing them more harm by denying STUDIED factors of Endo in North America. To break it down if you go by their estimates of one in ten women in Canada having endometriosis that's half a million women who most right now are being ignored or told them have fibromyalgia which is nothing but unexplained pain that lasts more than six months without even being looked at for a lap to diagnose. Their funding is about $1.88 per person and it really shows we are getting exactly that dollar amount in care. Im 💯 positive I've paid more than 1.88 in taxes which should qualify me to be treated as a human but it doesn't. It's such a joke. 1.8 million is what some condos sell for in Vancouver and that's all they can invest because they think it affects other women and other young girls that aren't them or their daughters. The fact that as a country we have this massive issue with birth decline, rates of cancer in young people rising alarming enough to have on the news multiple times and have the premier on tv saying health care wait times ate atrocious... Give me an effing break its taken me 11 years and leaving the country to get a correct diagnosis and every woman should be insulted listening to their crap. It's because it affects women more so than men so we get ignored. I only got diagnosed with Endo after being told a decade ago twice I didn't have it and not once did they tell me I needed a lap to know. They just decided I didn't and a decade later I found it when I could no longer walk at 33. Medical systems are designed to create patients not help them. Then you see why in the 21st century we are still only pushing hormonal medications for a disease that they havnt even studied enough to know here. Europe... They remove the Endo CORRECTLY the first time and symptoms reduce with proper surgery! So many women myself included thought they were getting proper surgery when they weren't. You have obgyns who should JUST be delivering babies inside women's body cutting shit out that have no clue about. My surgeon had no idea why my back pain would have gone away after having my left uterosacral ligament excised. I'm no doctor but you have a damn tissue growth growing into your back ligament that may make sense to feel it but docs don't even have common sense. We are parts not people.

As long as you are aware that a hysterectomy will not cure Endo in any way. There are also options to fly to specialist surgeons who only deal with Endo. Bucharest endometriosis center in Romania is where I flew to get mine done with bowel stage 4 whole bit. Had my surgery and I walked out with zero pain that I had going in and didn't lose anything but I also don't have adenomyosis so if you do thats different. Best thing I ever did was go straight to a surgeon who only does Endo. Vidali and mitroi are the only two I'll let touch me again after the experience I had with surgeons in Canada. It's a joke.

https://bucharestendometriosiscenter.com/ I had my surgery done in Romania by mitroi and his team of specialists last month. If you go to the website above and scroll down there is a free download for the endometriosis A-Z manual. It's been created by the specialist surgeons there so women can have better access to current and factual endometriosis information. I read through it a lot. It's literally the Endo bible to me it feels like. Very handy to print the pages that apply to you and bring them into the doc with you. Since doing that the gaslighting I was getting has stopped.

If your surgery lasted such a small time it's very likely the excision wasn't done correctly. Lesions work the same as a cyst for example, if you don't remove it all from the root it just grows back where it sits in no time if it's don't correctly, pain and what comes with it is gone. Don't give up. I had the same thing happen on my first surgery and within four months the pain was back and raging. I flew abroad to have surgery with an excision endo specialist and found 60% of my Endo wasn't even reported as being there during my first surgery because my surgeon was under educated in Endo like a lot are and lesions have varying colors. Even transparent, so when it comes to surgery the surgeon HAS to know what they are doing and I've found few aside from flying to Dr.Mitroi or consulting Dr.Vidali. It's astonishing to actually be living this kinda of insanity in 2024 where we have to guide our doctors.

I can only say what I did for myself. I had my first surgery in Canada and I got my diagnosis so for that reason and that alone I'm happy I had it. I had debilitating pain before the surgery and it did relieve it for four months. After that I realized how poorly Endo is funded and treated in Canada and I decided to fly to the surgeons who know what they're doing and do it right the first time. I suggest two dr. Vidali who has been doing Endo surgery since 1996 and I personally think he's a really nice person endometriosis_surgeon on insta is his page where he gives lots of info and dr.mitroi and his team at the Bucharest endometriosis center where I had my second surgery done and found how vastly different Endo is done there. So the surgery once right the first time and don't wait until it grows to the point where you're in pain and have to trudge through the system. Im 34 now and I've been trying for 11 years to get pregnant. If I could go back in time I would have done this much faster if I had known I even had it but it's just last year that I got diagnosed. There's very few surgeons who do Endo correctly. https://bucharestendometriosiscenter.com/ If you go to the Bucharest website and scroll down the main page there's a free pdf download button for the endometriosis A-Z manual that the surgical team has created there. It's full of amazingly useful and accurate information. I use it now myself for my appointments in Canada because I've yet to find someone who knows Endo like they do there. It has an entire section on surgery.

I'm in Canada so in theory surgery is free but for me what actually happened is I had surgery in Canada that was done by a gyne which here you rarely can choose who you see. I got diagnosed during my lap and had removal of Endo. The surgeon who did mine was in no way qualified to remove Endo so it wasn't taken out correctly and she missed 60% of the Endo I did have because she didn't recognize the way it looked as well as some transparent Endo so it was all missed. My symptoms came back in four months but worse so I said screw it after getting no help from anyone here and I looked at surgery at the Bucharest endometriosis center where they do amazing work every day with straight Endo as the focus. I talked to my family and took out a loan for the partial cost, pooled the money I could get no matter how I had to. Flew to Romania had the surgery expecting it to be a huge bill and.... I went in with stage 4 DIE bowel, ureter, ligament the whole torso full of issues and it was $7200 for the surgery $550 cad for the MRI. I thought I'd have to save 20-30g... Looking back now I would have skipped surgery in Canada all together and paid for it to be done right the first time. I wasted my energy, time, and lost pay for the surgery on the first one and the surgeon barely knew what they were even doing with Endo. So for that reason I'd say do it right the first time. Mitroi and vidali are the two surgeons I'd trust any day of the week with my life. I'm actually in the process of getting my 58 year old mother to one of them so she can finally feel what it's like to get it all out for the first time in her life. I worked out that the time I missed from Endo with work since I've been with the same company for 16 years in the last 10 alone I've lost $90 000.00 just in lost wages. When I finally realized how much Endo physically and financially cost me ... I just decided hell or high water I'm getting it out of me. The universe just started shifting things my way. Faith and fricken grit i say. Plus Romania is beautiful to visit anyway but vidali is based in NYC I believe.

Unfortunately the time period of pain relief after a surgery has nothing to do with stage or you. It has everything to do with the skill of the surgeon who did the excision. If ablation was used then the pain returning quickly is quite common. If excision was used (which is the only way they should do surgery) if the surgeon wasn't skilled (happened in my case) they take out what they recognize only because training for Endo excision is done by gynes who usually have not had specialist training in Endo they're just being used to do these surgeries with limited research, funding, and proper surgical guidelines for Endo specifically. Lesions can present in many colors, shades, and some can even be transparent. Because of those there are a lot of surgeons out there doing laps on women thinking they understand a disease they don't even know the basics about. Because of this many women will have surgeries that are incomplete, (myself included) that being pain back just as quick as it left. Surgery works, with proper surgeons. Removing Endo is like taking out a cyst. If you don't remove it from the root then it grows back. Without the root removal it comes back faster. 4 months in my case. I flew to a specialist surgeon in Romania at the Bucharest endometriosis center and found that my first surgery in Canada didn't help me because the surgeon left behind 60% more Endo than she reported in the surgical report meaning she had no idea it was there when she was looking straight at it because it wasn't just what she had studied she wasn't qualified enough to do the surgery at all. https://bucharestendometriosiscenter.com/ If you go to the above website and scroll half way down the page there's a free pdf download to download the Endometriosis A-Z manual that dr. Mitroi and his surgical team have created for patients. It's amazing as a resource tool but you can look up the surgery section where it tells you all about these kinds of things. It's very validating. Hugs girl my heart broke when my back pain came back and I honestly am sending the biggest hugs because it's the worst feeling.

I think the best thing I learned through this is that you have to be your own best advocate. In Canada they just aren't doing Endo right. People talk about it in the groups all the time. For me I have up on wait lists and being told it was other things I knew it wasn't. Just going and paying for it to be done right was the only thing that made sense although I had to loan to do the costs. Still worth it. Dr.vidali is an amazing surgeon for Endo as well he's been working in Endo since 1996. His insta is endometriosis_surgeon he gives great info and honestly he's super nice I've even messaged him before and asked questions and he messaged back. Vidali and mitroi are like my favourite people these days lol.

https://bucharestendometriosiscenter.com/ Above is a link to the Bucharest endometriosis center. I had surgery there with dr. Mitroi who is an amazing surgeon and his team is beyond excellent with how much time and solid work they put into endometriosis for patients. If you scroll half way down the page there is a pdf download button to download the Endometriosis A-Z manual The surgical specialists at the center have put together a concise medical journal of Endo. Has everything from surgery to medications to where pain can present. Birth control doesn't stop the growth of Endo in any way. North american standard is to give birth control. It's not the best science for Endo it's just pretty well the only way docs have been managing it because they aren't trained in what Endo is, we don't have surgeons specialized enough in high enough numbers to do excision surgery which is the actual gold standard WHEN you have a competent surgeon which many are not because Endo isn't funded enough. It's a lot to take in but having the Endo book is absolutely the best resource I've found yet for FACTUAL information. Sending hugs 🤗 it's no fun.

I had similar symptoms and I had endometriosis found on my bowel but the one that was causing my constant back pain and right shoulder pain was the right and left uterosacral tendon was full of Endo. A lot of time bowel Endo will present as right hip pain when it starts to aggravate the SI joint. https://bucharestendometriosiscenter.com/ If you go to this website and scroll down there is a pdf that's free to download called endometriosis A-Z. It was written by mitroi and his surgical team in Bucharest. They are amazing at what they do I had surgery there in June but having this medical literature helps me when I talk to my docs in Canada now because I simply flip the page about why I have pain where I do, what's proper diagnosis and what's not etc. Take in the pages where it tells exactly what needs to be done to diagnose and if you're refused you file a complaint against them. You'll have all the necessary information needed to shift the power dynamic back to you.

I was in the same situation being told I was fine when I knew I wasn't. I reached out to dr. Gabriel mitroi from the Buchanan endometriosis center. If you go to their website the have a contact button to email them for questions on what you should do since he will ask you about what you're feeling. The surgical team there literally gave me my life back. Just talking to a professional who doesn't need to be corrected felt amazingly validating. Another world class surgeon is dr. Vidali out of NYC. I would contact both for consult if you can because it was the best thing I ever did with Endo in my life.

That's the thing with this disease and surgery. If there aren't any in the area then you need to start finding out how to get to a proper one before a surgery. Don't let an obgyn do a surgery on you ever unless they answer your questions with the same answers that's in that endo manual. You can weed bad ones out by asking simple questions like. What are your thoughts on ablation vs excision? - this is an easy one and if the doc says ablation is an option then drop that convo and leave and save yourself the pain from a surgery done incorrectly. They are not all the same. Another top tier surgeon is Dr. Vidali out of NYC his insta is endometriosis_surgeon he also give vast amounts of proper info and he does surgeries all over the world and actually does pricing based on where he is and how he can put a package together to allow as many women to see him as he can. He's been in Italy, Tijuana etc. in Tijuana his most recent surgical package was everything included stay, surgery, food, every thing all in 15g and all you have to do is get the flight from San Diego at the time. Dr. Mitroi at the Bucharest endometriosis center is also top tier and both answer questions and concerns through messaging. Mitroi did my surgery but I've had the pleasure of talking to vidali on instagram and they're amazing people in the support they provide even when they havnt met you. It's overwhelming in the beginning but finding the correct info from the correct people can change how the disease is managed for the better. It doesn't have to stay as heavy as it feels in the beginning it gets a bit easier when you find the right people so I'm sending big hugs 🫂

Yes luckily I was able to get in and fly to Romania. I had dr. Mitroi and his surgical team do my second lap and they found and removed it all including the adhesions she created and the left side excised again since it had grown back in the span of four months since she didn't remove it correctly. I also had cysts on my tubes .. never mentioned more than just one she removed. I don't talk about this much but there was a point in Romania when I had the MRI before surgery that I had a call wondering if I had my tubes removed, my heart sank but in the end it was the imaging that made them hard to see but they were there. .. but it hit me in that moment that I literally couldn't say for certain weather they had removed them and not told me or not. That's how little trust I have in our system that I actually wasn't completely shocked that they could have taken them and just not noted it down. It was probably the worst feeling I've ever had in my life because then I knew why I felt so sad about having Endo, the amount of trust I don't have hit me like a truck. Since the surgery everything that was debilitating me before stopped almost immediately.

After I had the Endo removed from my bowel bladder and ureter all those issues just stopped. I had it also on my uterosacral ligaments and had it all out in one go and that was actually the first thing I noticed I went to go and I thought something was wrong because It felt like it just fell out and I didn't even try to push at all. Being normal actually to me felt wrong because I wasn't used to it haha. Bowel Endo wrecked me, it had started to affect my walking and my right hip was seized up I'd have to limp on it for days and it wasn't with my cycle it was 24/7. My first surgery I got minor improvement. But it grew back in four months so the second one I did right with an excision. Specialist the best I could find and it definitely feels like it makes every difference. Now I'll never go anywhere else aside from dr. Mitroi and dr. Vidali

For me no, I don't take any hormonal medications just anti inflammatory ones. After surgery I was able to cut back on a lot of stuff I was taking because I didn't have the same symptoms anymore so now I've just been keeping up on certain suppliments I'm lacking in and I take dim which helps flush excess estrogen but is OTC. My surgery lasted four months before pain came back after an obgyn did it. My surgery with Dr. Mitroi I had way more Endo found and removed and I've been good since. I actually find the only thing I battle with now is hormonal acne when before I couldn't walk.

I was able to catch it in time that the damage was mostly to both my ureters but if left kidneys were next to fail with how much it had cut off the flow. I also had it on my bladder so it kinda seemed to be moving upwards. I had bowel Endo and not one person I saw for it ever gave me the inclination they would do much ...they told me bowel Endo would leave me with a bag so they wouldn't do it. So I flew to Romania and they did it all easy peasy and said that there was no reason aside from lazy physicians for them leaving me like that so long with no plan. With the bowel Endo it has progressed to where my si joint in my right hip was inflamed which was due to being in close proximity to the bowel growths. Dr. Mitroi explained when I told him that part that he wanted to see me as soon as possible because at that point it can leave you with permanent nerve damage so I was in within a month and a half. In my experience the medical system in Canada for my Endo simply pushed me away because they don't care to upgrade their knowledge or understanding of Endo it's easier to push a hormone pill leave the growths to do what they want and get the patient out the door so they move on to the next appointment.

After I was unable to walk I had surgery with dr.mitroi at the Bucharest Endo center and he literally gave me a whole new life. I had no idea what normal felt like until I managed to get to him and now I'm saving for my next surgery already because I won't let anyone other than vidali treat me again.

I had a lap about a year ago where they went in and saw it on my bladder, bowel, ureters just everywhere. At the time I was in Canada and the surgeon removed some of the growths but told me that she wasn't touching most of it and to take birth control. I had pain and GI issues so bad that I was constantly in pain. The hospitals never did anything, I couldn't eat for a week or go to the bathroom. They knew I had Endo and said they wanted me to drink peg Lyte oral purgative every day until I got a call from some new bowel surgeon that was starting with the hospital. I work in a pharmacy so I absolutely did not drink peg Lyte every day because that's the most stupid advice I was ever given so it came down to me getting absolutely no help at home and even when they knew where the Endo was they weren't going to take it out just medicate me so I said absolutely effing not to the stupidity and took out a bunch of loans to fly to the Bucharest Endo center and had surgery with Dr. Mitroi where he removed everything (more than I knew I had because the first surgeon was shit) corrected the first surgeon's mistakes and I walked out feeling like a new human. I couldn't even get imaging done in Canada.... I was pretty well told to figure it out myself here before I went and got real treatment. When I was in Romania they did an MRI with their machines and it picks up Endo was more clearly but they also read the MRIs way better because they have a trained eye for Endo which you won't find often. My grandmother also had a bowel impaction when she was younger from what we know now is Endo.

I did quite a bit of searching locally and nothing to the caliber of dr. Mitroi was available so I flew to Bucharest Romania to the Bucharest endometriosis center. I had a lap that spotted Endo on my bowel, bladder, and ureters at home but they wouldn't touch those spots and when I had my surgery with mitroi I realized very quickly what the differences between them were. Their surgical team is top notch and I can honestly say after doing it I can't imagine going to a regular gyno ever again....it's laughable to have a gynecologist or anyone under an excision specialists touch the disease. Best decision of my life and it was simple with them I just sent an email and mitroi got back to me personally quicker than my doc here does to return a call. 👌

Dr. Mitroi did my surgery and I hands down will be flying back to have it done again when needed with little hesitation. His team gave me my life back and did way better surgery on me than I had access to at home. They also treat you respectfully there not like you're a number. Romania is also beautiful on its own so being there isn't entirely expensive which helps the trip cost.

Yes depending on size they can be seen but Endo lesions are very different. With a lot of MRI what makes more of a difference is who's reading the results. Sending MRI images to surgeons like mitroi and vidali can give much more information because they read the MRI with Endo knowledge in mind that others don't have which means lots gets missed. I had chocolate cysts and multiple others in various areas and had over 20 scans and images that showed exactly zero. Visual confirmation is really the only accurate way.

I'm in the same boat and for complete and proper excision I flew to the Bucharest endometriosis center and had surgery with Dr. Mitroi and his team before IVF. Another top tier surgeon for this specific situation is dr. Vidali in NYC. He also does surgeries in other locations. I would absolutely do the surgery before doing IVF. Endo can be in a lot of places you don't realize until a surgeon goes in and removes it. The surgeon matters the most so for me personally I will only use those two. If I would have gone ahead I don't think with the growths I had anything would have worked. The Bec website has a pdf download that has sections on this specifically. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LeTINnEZNIkTHcaArmbN75OaKuTlwZNt/view?usp=share_link Super handy resource. 🫂

For me I wasn't able to access proper excision surgery at home so the pain I was in became unmanageable. Mitroi's team did my surgery and I walked out feeling like Cinderella like I was in my true body for the first time. I didn't realize how much Endo I had before that surgery because the obgyn that did my previous one never noted any of it so I was happy I did the surgery first because I had no idea my bladder was also affected until it was done. I did a few consult calls about the fertility side of things because I had always been told I had unexplained infertility so luckily when I did get the surgery mitroi said that now there shouldn't be any physical issues in the way so even just for the peace of mind and emotions of it all I found it to be very worth it because I have more of a sense of certainty about what's going on inside.

This 🙌🙌🙌🙌 Excision surgery is the gold standard period. The surgeon matters, there are some like mitroi who did mine that got me from not walking to living life again like I have never felt in over 15 years in one properly done surgery. I'll never allow Endo to just keep growing, taking pills that don't address the cause of the pain and inflammation.... It's a growth that needs to be removed like a tumour. Treat the problem.

I've had two, my first one was my exploratory lap that was done by an obgyn so very minimal clear out of growths mostly just taking the sample to get pathology to diagnose. Second surgery I had done at the Bucharest endometriosis center in Romania by dr. Mitroi and he absolutely cleared out everything I had in there and found about 60% more growths than the obgyn recognized in my first surgery. Both gave relief but the second full excision has given me so far a year of no pain when before I couldn't even cough or sneeze without my legs buckling from the left and right uterosacral ligament Endo in my lower back among other places. My first surgery the pain was better for about 4 months, so the surgeon definitely matters.

If you haven't heard of it before there is a great Endo center in Bucharest that treats endometriosis specifically. Dr.mitroi and his team are amazing people and offer second opinions on MRIs and other imaging. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LeTINnEZNIkTHcaArmbN75OaKuTlwZNt/view?usp=share_link This pdf download is the Endometriosis A-Z manual written by the surgeons there. It's an amazing resource of information. I had surgery there last year and he gave me my life back.

I have felt the same way. I only found my Endo after 17 years of trying for a baby, and 3 failed iui procedures after being told I didn't have endometriosis or pcos but instead just standard ol' "unexplained infertility. Clearly it was Endo the whole time. In that amount of time now that I'm 35 I have had surgery specifically with an Endo surgeon who specializes in preserving fertility. Dr mitroi and dr vidali are two Endo specialists that very well could make it possible. Personally I am not doing an egg retrieval to use a surrogate while I'm young enough to get my eggs out. I feel for you, I get it. I'm just really pissed off that I got dragged this long since 23 looking for fertility help and now I guess the stubborn part of me wants to show them I'll get what I damn well want because they don't get to choose for me. Nothing is impossible although it can feel that way. Even as I say this I don't know if anything would work for me either but I'm not having someone else tell me I can't do something especially a doc who half knows what our disease even is.

Have you ever heard of Dr mitroi or dr Vidali? I had bowel and bladder Endo and I had the same experience in Canada they noted Endo but left it pretty well alone after the lap I had no one trying to help me find someone to remove it. It was affecting my ability to eat and by the time I had figured out they had no intention of helping me I was unable to even use the washroom or get food in. I flew to Romania for surgery with Dr. Mitroi and he removed everything in one surgery and gave me my life back. The surgeons at the BEC center are absolutely amazing with information and navigating Endo. I sent them an email to inquire about my symptoms and had them get back to me within 24 hours which was honestly faster than my local gp answers my calls.

There's no way to change the MRI but you can send them to dr.vidali or dr.mitroi who have the team and skills to be able to actually read them specifically for endometriosis. It's usually low to no cost when I have sent mine and the trained eye the techs have who go over them are by far 1000x better than what generally is found.

Hello, i also have endometriosis diagnosed in 2021 in sweden and fought as hard as i could to get the treament i needed. My symtoms were very similiar to your. Unfortunatly for me swedens health care is disgustingly bad. I was unable to even walk but they all kept telling me it was all in my head. After 3 years of fightning for care i gave up on sweden and went to Romania after finding Dr. Gabriel Mitroi. In 25mins with an mri they found that i had stage 4 and 2 days later i was on the operating table. Once i woke up all the pain was completly gone i felt like a new person. My life has improved so much since the surgery, im not sure if this would be an option for you, but i just want to share that there is always hope and there are doctors out there who actually wants to help you. I hope you find something that works for you, don't give up sister ❤

Hello i am a 23 year old woman who has had 3 surgeries in total. My first one was in 2021 which was an ablation surgery that gave me pain relief for around 2 months. I also had an iud inserted during surgery. After 2 months it just got worse and worse. Tried to get help from the ones who botched me to no avail, just take ibru and paracetamol full dose despite me telling them i already did that everyday. They lied in my medical record and wrote down that i did not take it everyday. I kept taking full dose until i got ulcers in my stomache and my body started reacting very badly to ibru, it gave me severe pain in my back around the kidneys. After nagging on them for 6 months i finnaly got an ultrasound turned out i had 3 cysts, they did not want to do anything just told me to take more ibru and go home... 3 months later did another ultrasound after i had a cyst rupture and the cysts had doubled in size, still just got told to go home and take more ibru. I decided to get the iud pulled out of which was my own idea. Once again lied in the medical record said that it was their suggestion cuz it might have caused the cysts.. Then i had my final surgery in Sweden where they removed the cyst but did not even bother with the endo that had regrown in just one year despite having an iud. They put another one in and i was put on a bc pill aswell. Still no pain relief, they increased the dose of the bc pill, nothing happned so they increased it again which made every bone in my body ache, feelt like i had constant bone inflammation. I stopped taking the pill. I asked for another refferal to an endo specialist which i had already asked for 3 times and being denied everytime, cuz my endo was well treated and i needed therapy cuz it was all in my head. Fastfoward 3 months after being gaslighted and ridiculed by swedens medical system i finnaly found a specialist who i did not need and referal to get the proper care i needed. Told them in Sweden because i wanted to know if i could get an mri and then all of a sudden they could write a referal to the endo specialist in sweden. I did research on the surgeon in sweden and decieded he was not trustworthy as he seemed very against excision surgeries. He also made public statements ridiculing women in sweden who went to get help abroad saying it unnesescary and they should be on hormones and go to therapy. Such a useless sexistic cunt should not be the head of endo care in sweden. The waitlist was also like 1 year meanwhile in Romania i could get proper care in just 1 month. So i went to romania for excision surgery. I was also able to get a hysterectomy that i wanted since i was 17. I was denied it in sweden because i was "too young" to make descions over my own fucking body. I am now 100% pain free so big shout out to Dr. Gabriel Mitroi who was able to give my life back to me. Sorry for the long rant im just very angry hahaha. TLDR: Had 2 botched surgeries in sweden and 1 succseful in Romania and is now 100% pain free thanks to the amazing endometriosis team in Bucharest ❤

If she's interested in getting a hysterectomy and excision surgery i would recommend Dr. Gabriel Mitroi from romania. I manged to get a surgery there in a month. When i said i wanted a hystrectomy he just said "okay we'll do anything you want". Compared to here in Sweden where they just said no you're too young you need lupron and hormones.

I went to the clinic in romania, Dr. Mitroi is amazing imo he saved my life pretty much haha. The cost for my procedures was a total of 22k lei around 5k usd. The price range for surgery when i went this march was between 2,5 - 5k$ and the MRI to diagnose and locate leisions are just 200$ there. It's the best and cheapest option in EU from what i could find.

Hi hi fellow swede, i tried to get help with my endo in sweden aswell but if im gonna be honest don't even bother with these incompitent losers. I could barely walk or eat for over 2 years and they did absolutely nothing, i asked for a referal to the endo centers in sweden multiple times and got denied everytime since i didn't try to have 2 iuds, 4x dose of progesterone and taking lupron at the same time like wtf. They only wanted to write a referal after i told them i would go to romania for surgery but that was a little too late at that point. However i am kind of glad they did it since i found a surgeon in romania, since he is way more compitent than the surgeons in sweden. In sweden they perform around 5 excision surgeries per month, meanwhile Dr. Mitroi do atleast 5 surgeries per week.

Yeah swedens health care really is shit. If you want to you can send an email to Mitroi and his team for online consultation for free. His team is really great, very kind and understanding. You can also apply to försäkringskassan.se för planerad vård utomlands, i think it's called so you can get out insurance before you go abroad for treatment. Not sure how fast it is tho, they were too slow for me since i got an apointemt for the surgery and MRI within a month. I had to apply for kompensentation för vård utomlands instead and still waiting for the money. I payed 50k Sek in total for everything but i still havent recived them yet, been around 3 months now

The clinic in Romania is great, Dr. Mitroi and his team are so good. They made me able to walk again and finnaly have my life back. If you can afford it and there is no other options in canada i would definetly recommend them. There were actually a few canadians there when i was there too

Hi i read most of what you wrote, I would recommend possibly trying to conntact the endometriosis specialist i went to. His name is Gabriel Mitroi and you can contact him via email. He's the one who told me about men being able to have endometriosis so i think there might be a chance to be taken serious by him. His online consultations are normally free of charge aswell

The durgeon i've been to twice with great results from both, has recently added a thoracic surgeon to his team to help them excise leisons from the chest area. His name is Dr. Gabriel Mitroi and he works for bucharest endometriosis center in Romania. I don't where u from so Romania might be a bit far away but he has online consultation if you want to get a 2nd opinion

Im doing good today thanks to my surgeon Mitroi who literally saved my life, in sweden they performed butched surgeries on me and used a referal to an endometriosis centre as blackmail to do more unescesary surgeries and hormonal treatment. Their surgeries made my endo worse and the pain when i ate got so bad i would just puke it all up, i lost so much weight my bmi became 15 and i could barely drink anything either. Im very lucky to find a surgeon and had a family who could pay for it since i had no money myself 💚

I've went to Dr. Gabriel Mitroi 2x in 2023 to have my botched surgeries fixed. I've never had any issues except communication where it gets a little hectic sometimes since he is very busy most of the time. He works almost 24/7 so it can be hard to reach him sometimes but his assitant is very easy to reach. I was supposed to have my stitches removed at 08:00 ish but he had an emergency surgery and then like 3 more after that so I had to wait until 19:30 but it didn't bother me that much. Some nurses are not able to speak english so misunderstandings appen, if that is a major concern for you maybe look somewhere else. For my first surgery (6h) i paid around 5k $ and the 2nd (45min) i paid 3,8k $.

I've been in bucharest for surgery twice they truly do some amazing work over there. My life was completely ruined because they allowed someone who is not a surgeon to perform surgeries! I feel like they tricked me on purpose to do some practice surgery. I was never human to them just some practice toy they could do whatever they wanted with, since they used referal to the endo centers here as blackmail to make me do whatever they wanted. I feel like im the dumbest person on earth for believing in them and never fact check what they told me. I've atleast learned now that you can never trust anybody who gains more by not helping you even if it's their job. I really didn't think i would be here today and i wouldn't if it wasn't for Mitroi. I started puking up almost everything from the pain so i would only eat once a day by taking around 100mg thc everyday but i could still only eat a few bites. Now i can eat whatever i want with no pain and im not just able to walk again but i can also run now 💚 Im not the only one who is traumatized either, pretty much everyone who cares about me aswell who actually saw me at my worst, it's sick that they gave gyns responsibility for this disease when the female reproductive organs have nothing to do with the disease. Im glad to hear the you will better now and i hope it will work out great for your mom too 💚

If you are on FB find Nancy's Nook group and read all the articles. There is a website as well. Google Bucharest Endometriosis Center and Dr Gabriel Mitroi. I had done a lot of reading and found him to be the expert in excision surgery. I emailed him with my case and he gave me his opinion. I set up a GFM and flew there for surgery. Booking time is about two months. Tell him you would like to have kids. Honestly, it's excision surgery preformed by an actual expert (there are no experts in Canada that I would trust right now, Nancy's Nook has a list of experts). Don't trust a doctor that does ablation, says they are only looking for "black Endo" or believes in "inactive or dead" Endo. After being in pain for 6.5 years I'm so glad to be 27 days post op and feeling better every day. If I can share my experience to save anyone time I will, message me if you want. I hope you find the relief and care you need.

Maybe contact de Gabriel Mitroi at Bucharest Endometriosis Center in Romania and ask him to take a look at your MRI. They did and MRI when I was there and could see Endo on it. They have been able to see it on other MRIs send to them as well. It's worth a shot. I'm two months post op with him and feel so much better.

MRIs usually don't detect Endo, or that is what we are told. In Romania they saw Endo on my MRI. I would send your scan to the Bucharest Endometriosis Center and see what they say. For my MRI there, I did a bowel cleanse and then they put a gel inside (vaginally and rectally) for a clear picture. Dr Mitroi is really lovely and helpful, I'm 75 days post op and feeling so much better.

update post op update post op I shared this in the Canadians Travelling to Bucharest Endometriosis Center group on FB: I just wanted to share that today was my last appt at the St Paul's pain clinic where I had been receiving iv lidocaine for pain (on top of taking low dose naltrexone and nabilone daily for pain- stopped LDN a week or so ago) the pain doc was not my usual doc so he wasn't comfortable sending me home without iv lidocaine so I got a lesser dose than usual. Iv Lido used to bring my average 9 level pain down to a 6 for a couple weeks. Now it brings my 3-4 down to 0. I'm so excited to stop these pain medications. I'm doing pelvic floor physio therapy for the remaining pain and vestibular physio for my dizziness (not related to Endo) both are happy with my improvements since surgery. The pain docs don't know much about Endo, I mentioned to two of them and all the nurses since majority of their patients are women. I'm blown away with how much pain reduction I have, I'm so glad I fundraised to be able to see Dr Mitroi. Thank you so much to this group and BEC for saving my life. (Surgeries Feb 15 2022: hysterectomy for adeno, Endo excision and gallbladder removed, pain became unbearable May 8, 2015 and was dx as a medical mystery)

Hi! I had surgery with him last year. My story inspired the reporter to look into it more and I directed her to the FB group to gather more stories. I went to BEC in February and I'm doing so much better now. I hope that your lap goes well! Dr Mitroi and his team are incredible. Say hello to nurse Isabelle for me!

I had severe leg pain as my Endo progressed. It was growing on my sacral nerve and excised. I had it a few other places, on my ovary and the back of my uterus. I also had adenomyosis and had a hysterectomy. I flew from Canada to Bucharest Endometriosis Center in Romania for surgery with Dr Mitroi 332 days ago. I had been using a walker for about a year due to leg pain and weakness. I no longer have pain in my legs, pelvis or abdomen. I had continued to have an inflamed nerve and have been getting lidocaine injections to calm it down but it is nothing like pre surgery pain. I'm now thinking of returning to work around my one year post op date! I'm not sure about the arm pains. I didn't have that much but did notice my arms get tired from laying down. I was so deconditioned and in so much pain I was pretty much bedridden.. everything hurt.. sometimes it was hard to tell the hurts apart. I hope you get it figured out and if surgery is necessary that you have a very skilled excision specialist!

Sorry just saw this. I am in Canada. I would have had to wait a couple years and possibly have three separate surgeries if I stayed here for care. I researched other options including the US, Mexico and India where other endometriosis excision experts are. Romania was the cheapest and had the most info on positive outcomes post op regarding Endo excision. Dr Mitroi and his team are excellent. I'm coming up on one year post op, Feb 15. Last year I was bed ridden, in an incredible amount of pain, using a walker, on three types of pain meds. Now I'm 8 months walker free, just smoking pot and using muscle relaxers for pain (pain from learning how to move my body again), and no longer have the heavy abdominal and pelvic pain anymore. We did a GFM and raised $15000, surgery was about $8000 because it was complicated (usually surgery is between $5000-9000 there depending on what you are getting done, could be more if you are having more done), plus flights air BNB food and other hospital costs (tests) we spent every penny on the trip. It was so worth it. I don't think I would have had this outcome of I stayed in Canada for care. I wish we had surgeon's who are as talented as dr Mitroi here.

I was about to apply for MAiD (medical assistance in dying) in Canada in 2021 and in December I decided to try one last thing - doing a gfm for endometriosis excision in Romania with Dr Gabriel Mitroi at Bucharest Endometriosis Center. Emailed them December 6, got a surgery date Feb 15 2022. They found adenomyosis at the MRI that hadn't been caught in the 7 years of suffering and going to doctors and them telling me they don't know what is causing my pain. Dr Mitroi is considered one of the world leading experts in endometriosis exision. I couldn't wait for surgery in Canada, and research was showing that Canadians doctors are not experts in Endo. I'm doing so much better now and no longer want to off myself.

Hello! I would be happy to connect! I am still doing well from my surgery with Dr Mitroi. They moved hospitals and now have robotic surgery as an option. The nursing staff has changed but I'm sure they are still wonderful. Dr Mitroi and his direct team, including the MRI radiologist, all speak English fluently and Google translate could help you if someone doesn't speak English. They usually book in 2-3 months unless it's an emergency, I spoke to them about getting a friend in and they offered us a spot within the month which was amazing but she decided to stay in Canada for care.

I didn't really had time for that. I was in a great deal of daily pain, so was ready to get surgery ASAP and luckily for me Dr Mitroi had a slot in less than three weeks. With scheduling MRI, flights and everything on such a short notice I didn't think I'd have enough time to schedule a consultation, but I did have a talk with a doctor before the surgery describing my symptoms and MRI finds. The anesthesiologist was brilliant, so I didn't have much in terms of the side effects. I was loopy as hell the day of the surgery right afterwards, but since they let you stay in a hospital for a few days, it wasn't exactly a problem. All I've had really was a sore throat - was taking lozenges for that, so it was just mildly annoying. I didn't have much in terms of constipation, that is a common side effect: went to the toilet on a second day after the surgery, used a stool softener once on a third day because I panicked of not going for a day, but it was all alright afterwards. Maybe I'm just lucky that way, maybe it was because of my strict diet before and after the surgery. I've definitely had my ovary stuck to my uterus, plus a lot of endo everywhere including ovarian fossa, so ovarian suspension was definitely in the cards since it's best practice to do that for a better recovery.

Writing to agree with you completely on this. The center itself can be very disorganised and chaotic at times, but thankfully the quality of care doesn't suffer from it much. It's just that Dr. Mitroi is just one person and can't be in multiple places at once, even though he tries his best and is very approachable online in case you have any questions. I've had my first real life conversation with him on the day of the surgery, since the one scheduled before on a previos day didn't happen due to scheduling issue and then he was busy with the evening surgery longer than expected and wasn't available for a call. At first I was very put off by this, but quality of the surgery and aftercare were exceptional, so I'd give it a pass. I needed a surgery asap as my endo started encroaching on other organs and it wasn't possible to have it in any reasonable timeline in my country, so I travelled to Bucharest instead and very pleased I did so.

Hi! I'm living in Ireland and last March I went to Romania for surgery with Dr. Mitroi. The experience was absolutely worth it, as after months of daily pain with no relief I'm finally able to function. Bear in mind that it is best for you to stay in Bucharest for at least a week after the intial surgery. I personally scheduled 10 days-ish to be on the safe side. While buying tickets make sure to ask for assistance on flight back, as airport queues may still be too exausting. You'll be staying in a hospital for at least the first couple of days, so most of the aftercare will be handled on site. After that you'll be given a prespcription and a date for a post-op consultation while you still in the country. The prescription can easily be filled in Romania, as you'll need those meds straight away. To me they're given more than enough recovery meds and I still have most of it left, so I didn't use any Romanian prescription in Ireland. In case you'd need any professional aftercare while staying in Romania you'll be given contact details for nurse services. My recovery was fairly easy, so I didn't need any aftercare in Ireland, just not doing strenuous stuff was enough. Sadly I can't say much about any backlash, since my GP was the one who recommended going for surgery abroad, but since usually you won't need much from them besides updating your medical records I hope there wouldn't be a lot of hassle on that front. If you have any more questions feel free to ask here or in DMs, I'll try to ask best to my ability.

Hi! I live in Ireland and I travelled to Bucharest for a surgery with Dr. Mitroi in 2023. My case was kinda similar: my condition was deteriorating and I managed to get the MRI, consultation and surgery there faster than just getting a consultation to be put on a surgery waiting list with a private gynae in Ireland. The surgery changed my life for the better: no longer I am in constant severe pain and bedridden. I was lucky to have zero complications and recover quite quickly despite the fact that I've had DIE excised in a lot of areas. But I do understand that this is all anecdotal and I belive that people can have negative experiences with this doctor too. The worst part for me was how disorganized everything seemed, apart from that I can't recall any complaints. I don't know if Ireland has an MRI technician specialised in endometriosis and if they do endometriosis protocol MRIs here at all: I think it's better to ask around, but a year ago I couldn't find anything like that. A regular MRI might not be as useful and they are quite costly in Ireland. I'd say if that's just MRI and consultation, you should go for it: at the very least you would get a high-quality MRI done by a specialised technician and consultation would give you your very own opinion on the doctor. A healthcare in Ireland is not in a good place right now (as is the case with many other places around the globe tbh), but of course people who work in healthcare can be a bit defensive towards it. I can rant about it for days actually, but I completely understand you thete.

Romania! Dr Mitroi at the Bucharest Endometriosis Center got us in for March 2024 when we reached out in December 2023 just before the NY. It is cheaper than out of pocket elsewhere for a specialist in USA, he has access to a DaVinci robot *highly recommend - have had 1 surgery with and 1 without it and the robot was way better even with it being more extensive and invasive surgery + a hyster AND pudendal nerve decompression on right side). I paid ~$26-28k all in including flights, travel expenses, air bnb for 14 days I believe, that’s hospital expenses and meds too. I had a total hysterectomy, endo excision (around my sciatic spine 🤮, DIE on my bowels & bladder) and lower bowel shaving, they also cut away adhesions and some weird ass scar tissue thing that in Canada they told me was an umbilical hernia (it wasn’t..), aaaand a pudendal nerve decompression surgery on the right side. I’m probably missing something. It’s so fxcked up how much work we have done and somehow are treated like we should be good to go after lmao (a post for another time). Anyways - i know it’s a lot of money, but crowd fund, sell shit, raise money any way you can and GO asap to someone who SOLELY does endo surgeries and is very well versed because the key here is AS FEW SURGERIES as possible. It’s so hard coming back from these surgeries for me, every time it gets harder and my body — I also am AuDHD and endometriosis (stage II-DIE), adenomyosis (confirmed, total hysterectomy), and lateral pudendal neuralgia (confirmed by MRI in Romania & right side confirmed during decompression procedure), diagnosed hypermobility by my PT; and then I have suspected dysautonomia/POTS, MCAS, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (like, other versions of it in addition to hypermobility), craniocervical instability, disc compression in at least 3 places and impending spondylosis. This stuff all tends to travel together and most of it is due to downstream issues with untreated endo eating our insides, causing inflammation, breaking down our whole body so fast, causing further degenerative conditions that would have began to bother some of us in our 40-50s to be set into motion in our TEENS, or 20-30s. It’s so horrific what this disease does. So yeah, if you can help it OP - don’t wait, save ur organs, limit surgeries you need as much as possible over time by going to the best of the best — and temper ur expectations. My sis is a palliative home care nurse and has endo as well, and she said we should be treated and supported as palliative care / terminal patients, esp depending on how much damage and runaway comorbid conditions have happened bc it takes us so damn long to get any help. Screaming, crying, throwing up and raging against this unfair place. Fight for yourself, I’ve lost too much to our system at 35 now when endo hit me so bad it ruined my life in 2019 and I will never be able to get much of that back. My new life is fighting for help with conditions no one understands, or thinks are rare, or thinks I’m making up/just an anxious lil lady and couldn’t possibly know my body lol. It’s a nightmare realm. Find community and people to keep you safe when the big dark and scaries come, hang in there and know you deserve pain control, treatment, and support. Sending love!

A lot of us with endometriosis and adenomyosis wind up with pudendal neuralgia (compressed pudendal nerves) — I saw Dr Mitroi in Romania for my second surgery and was diagnosed w bilateral PN. He decompressed the right nerve (can only do 1 at a time due to the invasive and traumatizing nature of the surgery — and I still don’t know if it will end up being worth it tbh…) and while I have less swelling on the entire right side of my body compared to my left now — I am still struggling a lot and the nerve healing is hella slow (plus the left one is pissed from compensating for the right while it heals). ANYWAYS - all this to say: from what my friend (also dx w same thing and also treated in Romania back in March) and I have put together is that if you map out where the pudendal nerve runs in your pelvis and abdomen you realize it touches basically EVERY organ and attaches where a lot of us have pain around our rib cages / diaphragm area (note: I had this checked in surgery and no endo found but I still have so much pain and issues breathing at times — unrelated to my hEDS rib subluxations!). I notice how I get bloated after I pee or poop or before when I have to pee or poop or when I eat or drink or if I don’t eat or drink (lmao) and I recall reading about how a compressed pudendal nerve can cause these issues. So it may be related to that. Also having hEDS (way more common in folks w endometriosis) - hypermobility / Ehlers Danlos syndrome - also can cause bowel issues/ibs symptoms (slow bowel motility, constipation and/or diarrhea, bloating, diverticulitis I think goes along w this). So between Endo, potentially compressed or irritated (or Endo on) pundendal nerves, and higher likelihood of hEDS… never mind post-op does seem to fck this up for so many of us (adhesions? scar tissue? angry organs trying to heal?) — and I feel like we don’t stand a chance to NOT wind up terribly bloated p consistently.

If you haven’t looked into pudendal neuralgia, pelvic congestion syndrome, and histamines — those may be threads you wanna pull on if anything resonates with your lived experience. Those pain loops with endo (& FRIENDS… lots of fxckin’ friends bc so many of us go untreated for so long & have lots of other fun comorbid surprises!) are way too real. Took me over 5 years to get out of mine and sometimes it still takes me out. Lyrica has helped a lot (some don’t respond well and it does change how your brain perceives pain which is a bit strange & no one rly talks about it/how to keep an eye on it), and robotic laparoscopic surgery with Dr. Mitroi in Romania at the BEC to fix 1 of 2 compressed pelvic nerves! It’s taken 1.5 years to even have good days — and I found out I have untreated, undiagnosed scolosis, spondylosis, and disc degen in my spine that defs gives me grief in combo w undiagnosed hypermobility (lots of subluxations). Adhesions are also a bit of a bxtch to deal with — it can be a complex puzzle. I’m sending love and hopefully insight your way, fellow warrior. 🫂💞✨

What they’re finding now is that for those who don’t have relief from endo lesions being removed — and barring she saw a GOOD endo surgeon cause my first surgeon missed endo on my bowels and bladder and first surgery brought me such limited relief. I went to Romania for second surgery in March 2024 at the Bucharest Endometriosis Center with Dr. Mitroi and they also found that I had bilateral pudendal neuralgia which was actually causing A LOT of my symptoms. He was only able to decompress the right nerve bc it’s such an intense surgery and only one can be done at a time. He also removed endo from my sciatic spine — and a lot of endo docs won’t even touch it if it’s on our nerves so. It took a LOT of healing — over a year and I am finally feeling so much better. I still have issues bc I kept my ovaries — wish I would have removed them tbh. I had a hysterectomy during second surgery, too, as I also had adenomyosis. There is so much to consider but the pudendal neuralgia and having DIE removed from my bowels and bladder stopped so much of the other issues. My period is now, usually, pleasant. Oh, also, check her spine — a lot of us wind up with scolosis (or already have it, mine was undiagnosed and has thus gone untreated) and spondylosis as well as disc degen from adhesions pulling at our tissues and compensating muscles for so long which they tell me doesn’t hurt but I beg to differ from my lived experience inside this mangled body. I also use muscle relaxants when my pelvis and body gets all tense bc it makes the pain worse. Finally, she’s gotta work on the fear part because our emotional state feeds back into the pain and vice versa and those loops can be tough to get out of once you’re in them. I’m a counsellor and I work with lots of endo fam — it’s hella complicated and dark. I am sending you both so much love, she’s lucky to have someone who cares enough to seek support.

I have endometriosis, had adeno but got a hyster last year along w my second endo surgery (DIE on bladder and bowels) and was also diagnosed and half treated for bilateral pudendal neuralgia (compressed pelvic nerves) at that time in Romania w Dr Mitroi. He put me and my friend (had a v similar surgery, same dx) on Lyrica (pregabalin) for healing post-surgery as this version is said to help heal nerves as well as change the way your brain processes pain (which has been both a good and bad thing for me for different reasons — it’s smtg to keep an eye on w these types of drugs). I haven’t thought much about whether it’s helped my GI symptoms and everything else because I assumed removed endo from my bladder & bowels mainly helped that lol but I know I FEEL IT when it’s anywhere from 20-24h from my last dose of pregabalin.

I had surgery with Dr. Mitroi in January, and I don’t regret it for a second. Well worth the money even if things don’t always run as you would expect in your own country. This man has completely changed my life, and he was able to get me in within 2 months of sending the first email.

I got my stage 4 endo excision/ bowel resection done by Dr. Mitroi and his team, and I can’t say enough good things about him. His bedside manner was fine- he was quite funny at times and he felt authentic. As far as pudendal nerve- I actually told him during my in person consult that I wasn’t interested in the procedure and he said he agreed with me and it wasn’t recommended in my case. I found that he was very open to hearing my concerns and wishes, and I felt that I was in great hands. I’m more than a year out from my surgery and I still feel like a new person. Of course there are cultural differences in Romania, but I felt cared for and seen during my entire stay and afterwards when I reached out with questions!

It’s wild that this came up on my feed - I am in Bucharest right now! I had surgery with Dr Mitroi 2 weeks ago. I head back to Canada on Sunday. I’m still healing obviously but so far I’m so so glad I came. Dr Mitroi and his team, as well as the hospital they work out of (I had my surgery at a hospital called Monza) exceeded all my expectations. I had deep infiltrating endo removed from behind my uterus and cervix as well as my rectum and colon. I got an MRI here before surgery which found way more endo than the MRI I had at home. It also found a compressed nerve, chronic hip inflammation and adenomyosis. This was my first surgery for endo. After feeling so neglected and gaslit by the system back home, Dr Mitroi listened to every single concern I had and his bedside manner was incredible. Plus he stays in touch after surgery to check in.

No problem! Yeah unfortunately I’ve seen so so many reports of people saying their surgeons swear up and down that they got it all, only to find out that wasn’t true at all. It’s so frustrating. Was the MRI you had with contrast? Another service DrMitroi offers is if you can get your hands on a copy of your MRI, his radiologist can look at it. She’s very specialised in endo MRIs and can often read them way better than other standard gynos. Many others who have also come to Romania said they were told their MRIs at home were normal - only to send those same scans to Dr Mitroi’s clinic and have them show various stages of endo and other issues. Thank you so much!! Good luck in your pursuit of answers ❤️ I hope you find some relief soon.

Endometriosis - Dr Gabriel Mitroi Endometriosis - Dr Gabriel Mitroi Hi there everyone! So long story short I was diagnosed with endometriosis back last October after about 10 years of proper symptoms which included bladder and bowel issues, pain with bowel movements, long periods, painful sex and stabbing pain in the vagina and rectum to name but a few. I was hopeful my excision surgery would help but no joy there unfortunately. I’ve found no BC that agrees with me as they all give me diarrhea and mood swings etc. I’m potentially going to Romania to Dr Gabriel Mitroi for a second opinion in November and potentially more surgery! Has anyone had surgery with him and has it helped? Thanks!

Hi there I did have my surgery in November - found Dr Mitroi to be an excellent surgeon. I’ve definitely seen some improvement since the surgery however my quality of life still isn’t where I’d like it to be to be honest - they think I might also have sown nerve issues and potential adenomyosis which, both combined, might account for some of my troublesome symptoms with my bowel and sitting and bleeding remaining. My cost was around 6K I think from recollection but I got a lot of that back on my health insurance (I’m Irish!). If you’ve any specific questions or anything feel free to PM me and I’m happy to respond!

You can go out of country for surgery and make NHS pay for it .I am Egyptian and had my surgery in Romania with Dr Gabriel Mitroi .Many U.K patients had surgery with him .And, you can also have private appointment with an Endometriosis specialist .I think Mr Morsi in Duddely center work with NHS or so.

I had 3 surgeries with Dr Mitroi.Don not do the surgery without MRI with Dr Livia . I totally understand the ticket reservation and being in refundable .But, I haven't had my MRI also because Dr Livia wasn't there .And, they booked me in another center and I declined due to fear from the lady there .She scared me .They rely on MRI in surgery plan .So,it is very important.You can message me anytime if you need anything.I have huge experience with the BEC.

Dr Livia is the best .No one in her skill and manners .The lady scared me as I am not married and she said that the procedure won't work except by putting gel in my vagina and I am a virgin .So,I was scared from her .Dr Mitroi said that she is the technician not the Dr and that she has some problem. He said that it is ok and they will look everywhere to find endometriosis and be prepared .MRI gives them a plan for surgery . If you are just having MRI ,you should wait for Dr Livia.

I went to Dr Gabriel Mitroi in the Bucharest Endometriosis Centre, I had an MRI with Dr Livia Stanciulescu. The total cost was approx €500 for the MRI and a consultation with Dr Mitroi. The Dr for MRI sat down with me after and went through her findings, she then sent them to Dr Mitroi ahead of my consultation. (She confirmed both endo and adeno) You get official report one week later. He prescribed me a nerve blocker for six months with the possibility of surgery if I get no relief. He also diagnosed me with pudendal neuralgia. Have to say, they were brilliant, and way more thorough than any other Dr I have been too. I've cancelled my surgery in Ireland which was just "going in for a look" and by a surgeon who does ablation (not recommended anymore). And I'm happy with that choice, I will travel for surgery from Dr Mitroi if I need it. Sorry to hear you're having such trouble, so disappointing, I've always thought the UK were better, but clearly not!!

I'm travelling over in January for surgery. I know someone else quoted 7k in a previous comment, but I think the prices might have gone up. From the pricing I received the lap surgery is maximum 7.5k, or robotic max 10k. You showed which one and Dr Mitroi would probably have a preference depending on the extent of what they think they'll deal with. This includes hospital stay. Then there are other costs such as lab test and also if you need a bowl resection, there is a kit. From what I can see this is a maximum of 2k I hope this helps. If you've any other questions let me know I'm travelling from Ireland

Yeah they're brilliant for the MRI and consult, I have to say. I went during summer and think I was waiting about 6/7 weeks for an appointment, so it's quick enough (compared to Ireland lol) The Dr reading the MRI brings you in after it's done and goes through everything. If you get an MRI in UK I know you can send it over for review too. I started a nerve medication after the consultation to see if it would help, I think Dr Mitroi offers that a quite a bit. It helped with some but not all, so I'm heading for surgery. I hope you get the answers you're looking for. It sucks to have to go to a foreign country to get them.
