Dr. Joseph Njagi, Gynecology & Minimal Invasive Surgery, Endometriosis Specialist.
City: Kerugoya, Central Kenya
Philosophy:
Retrograde menstruation theory
What type of surgery do you perform for endometriosis?:
Excision
Medication:
I incorporate NSAIDs for pain management after surgery.
I also use COC’s for pain management and to limit the growth of endometrial cells.
Approach to Persistent Pain After Surgery:
I begin by conducting a thorough evaluation of the patient’s medical history, surgical notes, and any available imaging reports. I also engage in a detailed discussion with the patient to understand the nature, intensity, and duration of their persistent symptoms. I then schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor the patient’s progress, assess the effectiveness of the chosen management strategies, and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.
