Dr Joseph Njagi – Gynecology & Minimal Invasive Surgery, Endometriosis Specialist.

Summary: Based in Kerugoya, Central Kenya, Dr Joseph Njagi is a highly experienced gynecologist specializing in minimally invasive surgery and the expert care of endometriosis. With a deep understanding of the condition, Dr Joseph Njagi follows the retrograde menstruation theory to guide his treatment philosophy. He focuses on excision surgery for endometriosis, a proven technique to remove diseased tissue and provide lasting relief.

Dr Njagi takes a patient-centered approach, using NSAIDs and combined oral contraceptives (COCs) to manage pain and prevent the regrowth of endometrial cells post-surgery. When persistent pain occurs after treatment, he conducts comprehensive evaluations—including medical history reviews, imaging analysis, and one-on-one consultations—to tailor each patient’s care. Through ongoing follow-up and thoughtful adjustments, Dr Njagi ensures his patients receive continuous, personalized support throughout their healing journey.

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 COCs 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.
