Endometriosis Support Sunshine Coast

Based on the Sunshine Coast, I offer compassionate, evidence-based support for endometriosis to help you manage pain, improve daily comfort, and enhance quality of life. Consultations are available in-person or via telehealth across Australia.

Understanding Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a complex condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside it, often causing pain, heavy bleeding, and fertility challenges. As an experienced GP, I provide local care for women on the Sunshine Coast, with access to an experienced Gynaecologist skilled in endometrial surgery if required.

I offer ongoing, supportive care close to home, coordinating referrals when necessary and helping you manage symptoms day-to-day.

Endometriosis Frequently Asked Questions

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside it, often causing pain, heavy periods, and sometimes fertility problems. It can affect many areas of the body and requires a personalised treatment approach.
