The Medical Journey
Lily Hansen was diagnosed with endometriosis while living in the United States. Initially offered laser surgery, she didn’t feel confident in this treatment. After researching options, she came across Mr Amer Raza, Consultant Gynaecologist at the International Centre for Endometriosis at Cromwell Hospital, and decided to opt for laparoscopy surgery after discussing the procedure with him. She appreciated its minimal downtime and felt confident it was the best option for her.
