Have RANZCOG amend the Australian Endometriosis Guideline


Have RANZCOG amend the Australian Endometriosis Guideline
The issue
RANZCOG’s Australian Endometriosis Guideline is:
- Full of gender centred language excluding a large population of Endo suffers.
- Outdated information.
- States hormone therapy will slow or stop the growth - false!
- Recommends the use of Zoladex (cancer drug) for patients before Endo is even diagnosed.
- Not promoting excision surgery as the Gold Standard in treatment, instead, they are promoting daily medication as a band-aid while the disease continues to spread.
- Promotes misinformation.
- Puts people's lives at risk.
Patients deserve the best care when first presenting with symptoms. This current guideline is not inclusive and does not put patients first.
