Gynaecology Consultation – African Centre for Endometriosis
If you are experiencing period pain, heavy bleeding, or symptoms of fibroids, our Gynaecology Consultation at the African Centre for Endometriosis in Kerugoya, Kirinyaga, Kenya can help you find answers and a personalised treatment plan.
We serve patients across the globe with respectful, evidence-informed pelvic health care.
Quick Facts

Book soon if: Symptoms disrupt daily life or affect fertility, intimacy, work, or sleep.
When to Book a Gynaecology Consultation
You do not have to put up with symptoms because they are common. A consultation can provide period pain help and clarify fibroid treatment options.
We can assess:
Heavy, prolonged, irregular, or painful periods
Pelvic pain, pressure, bloating, or pain during or after sex
Bleeding between periods, after sex, or after menopause
Possible fibroids, ovarian cysts, polyps, adenomyosis, infection, or endometriosis
Fertility, contraception, vaginal symptoms, and period-related bowel or urinary symptoms
Seek urgent medical care if bleeding is very heavy, pain is sudden or worsening, or you feel faint, short of breath, have chest pain, or have fever with pelvic pain.
What Happens at Your Gynaecology Consultation
We begin by listening to your symptoms, cycle, health history, medicines, prior procedures, fertility goals, and what matters to you.
Examination with consent: An abdominal or internal pelvic examination is offered only if useful and agreed to. You can ask why it is recommended, request a chaperone, pause, or decline.
Targeted tests: Depending on symptoms, these may include pregnancy, blood, or infection testing; a pelvic ultrasound; or diagnostic ultrasound for endometriosis. NICE recommends a full blood count for heavy menstrual bleeding.
Imaging and referral: Hysteroscopy or ultrasound may help assess a polyp, submucosal fibroid, uterine concern, pelvic mass, or adenomyosis. A normal examination or ultrasound does not rule out endometriosis.
Bring prior results, a medicine list, dates of bleeding or pain, and a symptom diary if you have one. Tell us if pregnancy is possible.
Assessment, Treatment and Follow-up Options
Symptom tracking, education, and planned follow-up
Medication for pain, bleeding, infection, or iron deficiency; hormonal options when suitable
Ultrasound, laboratory testing, or referral for hysteroscopy, including hysteroscopy polypectomy when indicated
Discussion of fibroid management, fertility assessment, or endometriosis surgery; minimally invasive surgery only when appropriate
Before any procedure, a separate discussion covers benefits, alternatives, risks, recovery time, and expected outcomes. We also explain side effects, medicine interactions, and possible effects on fertility before prescribing.
