Dr Andrew cook is a world leading endometriosis excision specialist and best selling author whose approach to endometriosis treatment is revolutionary. I absolutely love his perspective on treating endometriosis and looking at the patient as a whole, and I believe that his work is going to change the way the medical industry addresses endometriosis surgery moving forward.

Dr Andrew Cook is the founder of the Vital Health Endometriosis Center, where they take a holistic and integrative approach to healing and perform only the best surgery for endometriosis - excision. Chatting with Dr Cook was a breath of fresh air, it was incredible to hear a medical professional understand the patient’s journey and experience with endometriosis so fully, and who really bares witness to some of the appalling surgeries that are done across the world and only cause more damage. His determination and passion for revolutionising endometriosis treatment and ensuring excision is the standard is so inspiring.

In this episode, we chat about the difference between excision and ablation surgery for endometriosis, how he works with patients to not only remove endometriosis but support his patients to heal and hormonal birth control for endometriosis. We also answer some of your questions including ‘how quickly can endometriosis grow back after surgery?’ and when to have surgery for endometriosis.
