Endo Explained

"Endometriosis" is a hoax; the pain is due to injured nerves caused by difficult first labors, straining on the toilet, gynaecological surgery, pelvic injury, etc It is NOT the blobs of endometrium ! youtu.be/bg1IYOtYaQU via @YouTube

@BirthTrauma Forceps delivery doubles the risk of severe gynaecological symptoms at 4 years postpartum (ALSPAC, 1992). Soft, ventouse does not touch the mother !

Many European countries have stopped using forceps - but they are still widely used in the UK, sometimes with devastating consequences. Sarah Jewell investigates. birthtraumaassociation.org/news-campaigns…

@KenZeroHarm @BirthTrauma Correct ! Midwives should not apply !!

@BirthTrauma ZHH No! Maternity needs a Boss, that is somebody who can tell NHS staff at all levels what to do. A Boss to run NHS Maternity as a national service. See “999: Critical Condition” from Royal Stoke, tonight on 5Star.

Coming up shortly - a parliamentary debate on appointing a maternity commissioner: committees.parliament.uk/committee/326/…

@DavidDavisMP @MartynPitman Corrupt NHS management spine specialising in reputational management. NHS is over ?

@catherineroyuk @wesstreeting Unfortunately no evidence to support NBI !!

Maternity taskforce international expert Helene Normann, senior adviser and Chief Midwifery Officer at the Norwegian Directorate of Health @wesstreeting We do not want normal birth in England. We cannot take advice from a country promoting normal birth. linkedin.com/posts/explorin…

@CamillaTominey @KenZeroHarm Routine treatment if you are trying to do something useful in UK OBGYN. It has been standard since Semmelweiss, 1840. Women have to survive preventable, gynae, neuropathic polycrises throughout their lives. We “lost” the pelvic nerves in 1945 !!??

I blew the whistle on Britain’s vagina mesh scandal. Now I’m the victim of a witch hunt telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03/2…

@ISUOG If you injure both layers of uterine nerves and both layers of bladder nerves then you create the conditions for four types of PAS.

Prof. Francesco D'Antonio invites you to the upcoming ISUOG advanced course on Understanding CSP and PAS: concepts, controversies and clinical practice. ⭐ Francesco will chair session three on placenta accreta spectrum, which will cover screening, treatment and who should operate. Franceso will conclude the session debate on who should operate, which offers the perspective of both an obstetrician and a gynecologist and is bound to be an insightful discussion!

@DavidDavisMP Individual and institutional dishonesty in the NHS management spine has destroyed the system. It is not resolvable. The midwives created 150 new midwifery only units 2000-2020. That has destroyed the maternity services- similar reasons !

Two NHS Trusts for my constituency have been ranked the worst in the country. This is unacceptable and needs to be rapidly addressed. But what is also unacceptable is the culture of rewarding managerial failure in the NHS. In this instance, that's shown by the fact that one of those responsible for the situation at our local Trusts is now the Director of Turnaround and Recovery for the region at the very body tasked with fixing my failing Trusts. I raised this absurdity in the @HouseofCommons this morning 👇🏻

@KenZeroHarm @AliJaneMoore Humpty Dumpty - very difficult to put it back together !?!

@EndoExplained @AliJaneMoore ZHH What a shambles!

This seems to be an utter mess. How come East Kent was not in the earlier programme and has leapfrogged into this one? Is it really just structural issues? And what happens to Medway & UHSussex - in NPIP but not this grouping? hsj.co.uk/quality-and-pe…

@thelucyjohnston @jamestitcomb It may be worse !!??

1 in 8 mothers experience trauma in childbirth as maternity scandals continue ⁦@jamestitcomb⁩ share.google/8nLts04mPMg4Df…

@DrHoenderkamp PS I have learned over 40 years that I do not understand the female mind and never provide an opinion - especially on a Saturday evening !!

How can a man EVER represent women who suffer with endometriosis when he has no idea whatsoever the pain, the fertility issues, the mental health destruction that accompanies it… please mansplain it to me someone?

@DrHoenderkamp Oh dear Dr H, The ectopic endometrium is just a red herring ! The key questions are what causes retrograde menstruation, chronic pelvic pain and infertility ? They are injuries to interstitial and isthmic uterine nerves !! Sorry for being male !!

@AliJaneMoore @catherineroyuk Unfavourable IOL doubles the risk of severe pain and menstrual bleeding at 4 years postpartum !! Better for the woman to have an early CS and NO gynaecology ??

This is worrying - help not available to speed up induction of labour.

@JamesTitcombe Voodoo and witchcraft now dominate UK childbirth !

@RMatthewsPsych @wesstreeting @NHSEngland The thin end of the impending disaster in Oxfordshire. Banbury needs a consultant units returned urgently !

Yesterday, Families Failed by OUH Maternity Services wrote to @wesstreeting to raise formal concerns about the appointment of the Chair of OUH to NHSE South East Regional Chair, & OUH’s CEO to Deputy CEO for @NHSEngland. Failing Trust? Have a promotion… #NHS #MaternityScandal

@RMatthewsPsych @CareQualityComm @NHSEngland @wesstreeting @Jeremy_Hunt Oxfordshire lookalike the biggest maternity disaster in the country. Bigger than S&T!! The sooner they get consultants units back in Banbury and Wantage the better !

Why are leaders of an NHS trust which is rated Requires Improvement & was issued a warning notice from the @CareQualityComm in Dec 2025 being appointed to leadership roles at @NHSEngland? This is devastating news for national #patientsafety & our #NHS. @wesstreeting @Jeremy_Hunt

@JamesTitcombe Prolonged and complex primigravid labours CAUSE postpartum maternal gynaecology starting 3-4 years after a first labour (denervation-reinnervation) No midwifery textbook contains an accurate image of the pelvic nerves. Their education is incomplete !!

@catherineroyuk OUH will become S&Tv2.0 - with hundreds of fetal deaths. Attitudes are wrong in Oxford.

@David_Cameron @RishiSunak You should get on some ivermectin and fenbendazole that were denied to us during Covid and be grateful for the advice !

As someone who has had a prostate cancer diagnosis, I know how important it is to make sure men get diagnosed early and receive the right treatments - so I couldn’t agree more with @RishiSunak and the campaign for a national targeted screening programme. dailymail.co.uk/debate/article…

@catherineroyuk That isn’t going to work !! All things to all people. Most retired consultants know what is wrong, how it went wrong and what to do to put it right. The trouble is the solutions would not be palatable to the existing political and clinical classes !!

First reaction, where are the anaesthetists? 1 Pushing women to forgo epidurals is at the heart of how the maternity system is set up and at the heart of inequalities 2 Intrapartum care is getting more complex, requiring their expertise 1/
