My Anna Health

English Contact Form

Hi, I'm Anna!

Hi, I am Anna. I will look after you today. After my conversation with you, I will be able to tell you your chances of having endometriosis and inform you if you would benefit from attending an accredited endometriosis center near you. The answers you provide to the questions I ask will be compared with the answers given by hundreds of thousands of women published in groundbreaking scientific research over the last three decades. So if, like millions of women around the world with chronic pain whose voices are not being heard, you feel that I can help you and truly listen, I will listen to you carefully and better than you have ever been hurt. Please click the link and provide me with your email address to begin your journey with me.

In your own words

You. Before I start asking you more specific questions about your symptoms, please tell me about your pain in your own words, as well as telling me what concerns you the most.

I am not sure and I don't think I want to proceed!

Thank you, are you ready?

I would now like to ask you more specific questions about your symptoms. And remember, what I say is not a substitute to a medical diagnosis. And that is why I always refer you to a doctor. To continue, please acknowledge that I am not an alternative to a medical diagnosis or to a doctor.

Pre Menstrual Pain

Do you experience pain before your periods? And if so, can you tell me how severe it usually is?

Dysmenorrhoea

Do you experience pain during your periods? If so, please tell me how severe it can be.

Non cyclical pain

Do you have pain unrelated to your periods? Through the month? And again, how severe can it be?

Dyspareunia

I would now like to ask you some sensitive questions to understand your pain better. It is incredibly common for women with endometriosis to experience pain during sexual intercourse. Do you experience such pain, and if so, how severe is the pain?

Lower back pain

Do you experience any lower back pain as well? If you do, how bad can it get?

All zeros

Thank you for sharing so much with me already. I am pleased that you have not got any of the symptoms that I have inquired about so far. However, at the same time, I am a bit confused. I am here to help women who at the very least have painful cycles. Having a conversation with me with no symptoms at all does not yield accurate results. I do feel that if you have other symptoms that I have not asked about, you would benefit from speaking to a general medical professional at first. I wish you the best of health. Thank you for your time.

MSK pain

Thank you for sharing so much with me already. Your lower back pain could be completely unrelated to a gynecological cause. In the absence of painful cycles, I believe you should first seek the opinion of an orthopedic surgeon who may be able to narrow down what might be going on. I do also feel that if you have other symptoms that I have not asked about, you would benefit from speaking to a general medical professional at first. Please understand I am unable to make recommendations for orthopedic or GP services near you. I wish you the best of health and a speedy recovery of your symptoms.

Have you already had a scan?

New Referral for adenomyosis

I truly appreciate the impact your difficult symptoms must have on your quality of life. After having spoken to you, I have a high suspicion that your symptoms are due to adenomyosis. This is when the lining of the uterus migrates deeper into the muscle layer, causing incredible pains with every cycle. But remember, this is not a medical diagnosis, and this is why I recommend that you should attend an accredited endometriosis center for further assistance. S please tell me where you're located and I can help you find the best endometriosis centers near you. I already have your email address from earlier on. I will use that to email you with my recommendations.

Final Thanks

Thank you for your time. And once again, thank you for sharing so much with me today. Endometriosis is the reality for one in ten women worldwide. Yet despite its prevalence, endometriosis remains one of the most underdiagnosed and underfunded areas in women's health. To every woman battling endometriosis, know this. Your pain is real. Your struggle is recognized, and you are not alone. To every everyone else, lend your voice, your support and your strength to this cause. Together, we can turn the tide of this silent epidemic, shining a light on endometriosis and forging a path toward a future where no woman has to suffer in silence. This is not just a call to action. It is a call to a rallying cry for change, for understanding, and for hope. Join us in this fight, because every woman deserves a life free from pain, a life full of possibilities. Together, we can make that a reality. I am Anna, and I am here to help.

Tell me About YOU.

Let's go. I am incredibly happy to help. You take your first step towards a diagnosis of endometriosis, all the answers. You provide to all the questions. I asked will be held in the strictest confidence. I will analyze your responses and will remain unbiased and comprehensive as I listened carefully.
 Sadly, a diagnostic delay of seven to nine years. With endometriosis has been reported globally. A similarly, considerable diagnostic delay is associated with endometriosis. Also in the United Kingdom with a meeting of eight years. These delays seem not to have improved over the last two decades and factors such as the normalization of pain and attitudes of health professionals have contributed to a significantly delayed diagnosis.
 I do not normalize your pain, and certainly, I will never develop a biased attitude to your concerns to begin with. I would like to collect some essential information about you, such as your age, your ethnicity and contact details. This will help me create your profile for you and issue you with your own Endo passport. Once our consultation today is over. I will be able to refer you to a specialist endometriosis center closest to you, or if you prefer a center that you want me to refer you to, please take your time.
 Time and answer my questions below carefully.
