Multidisciplinary approach
Women with (suspected) endometriosis may seek care and support for coping with these symptoms from different medical disciplines. When this diverse care is not coordinated, diagnosis can be delayed. This is why UZ Brussel combines endometriosis care in a specialised, multidisciplinary care pathway.
The team consists of:
- Gynaecological surgeons
- Fertility specialists
- Digestive surgeons
- Gastroenterologists
- Radiologists
- Urologists
- Pain specialists
- Psychologists
- Physiotherapists
A dedicated endometriosis midwife-counsellor will be your point of contact during the treatment process. The counsellor plays a crucial role in coordinating your care, support and guidance.
The team meets monthly to discuss cases and treatment options. This allows an individual treatment plan to be proposed. Thanks to this joint approach, you can count on extensive expertise at every stage of your care process.
