A Root-Cause Approach to Endometriosis with Mosaic Medical
What Is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of it, leading to inflammation, pain, and sometimes fertility challenges.
How It Affects People:
Endometriosis can affect every aspect of life — from digestion and mood to intimacy and daily function. The impact can be significant, and many patients describe years of struggle before finding effective support.
Typical Symptoms Include
- Painful periods or ovulation
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Pain with intercourse or bowel movements
- Digestive issues such as bloating or constipation
- Fatigue
- Infertility
Conventional treatment often includes hormonal suppressants, birth control, pain medication, or surgery. While these may provide relief, they don’t always address the deeper causes driving inflammation and recurrence.
Our Functional Medicine Approach
At Mosaic Medical, we look beyond symptom suppression to explore the root causes of inflammation and hormone imbalance in endometriosis. Research in this field is rapidly evolving, including the role of gut-driven inflammation, and we work to stay up to date with the latest evidence.
- Oestrogen metabolism and hormone imbalances (sometimes referred to as “oestrogen dominance”)
- Chronic inflammation and immune dysfunction
- Gut microbiome imbalances and food sensitivities
- Nutrient deficiencies (e.g. magnesium, zinc)
- Environmental toxin exposure and detoxification capacity
- Hormone and inflammation testing (blood, DUTCH test, other advanced panels)
- Gut microbiome and food sensitivity testing
- Anti-inflammatory nutrition and lifestyle plans
- Evidence-based supplements and, where appropriate, hormonal medications for pain and balance
- Mind-body approaches to support nervous system regulation and resilience
What Makes Our Clinic Different
- Natural, non-suppressive care – working with your body to reduce pain and inflammation without relying solely on hormonal suppression
- Holistic hormone support – supporting oestrogen metabolism, detoxification, and adrenal-thyroid balance
- Medical oversight – as GMC-registered doctors, we can prescribe when necessary and ensure safety in complex cases
- Whole-person focus – addressing both immediate symptom relief and long-term healing strategies
FAQ – Endometriosis & Functional Medicine
Can functional medicine help reduce pain from endometriosis?
Yes. By addressing inflammation, immune dysfunction, and hormone balance, functional medicine can help reduce pain and other symptoms over time.
Do I need surgery for endometriosis?
Not always. While surgery can be helpful for some, many patients improve significantly through natural, non-invasive strategies such as hormone balancing, anti-inflammatory nutrition, and detoxification support.
What kind of testing do you use?
We may use hormone testing (such as the DUTCH test), microbiome analysis, food sensitivity testing, and inflammation markers. We also review existing blood results from your GP or gynaecologist. We only recommend tests that will directly influence your treatment plan.
Can you help if I’ve already had surgery?
Yes. Many people continue to experience symptoms after surgery. We work to reduce recurrence and address the immune and inflammatory drivers that surgery cannot fix.
How long before I start feeling better?
Improvements often begin within 1–3 months, with more significant changes in pain and energy seen over 6–12 months.
I have had gender transition and/or do not identify as a woman — can you still help?
Yes. We meet every patient as an individual, respecting your journey, identity, and preferences. A discovery call is a good first step to explore your unique situation.
Do you offer remote consultations?
Yes. We work with patients virtually across the UK, with in-person consultations if needed.
How do appointments work?
Your first appointment is 90 minutes, with your doctor reviewing your case beforehand. Together we will discuss your symptoms, history, and decide on next steps, including testing if needed.
Does the appointment price include testing?
No. Testing is separate and only recommended when results will meaningfully change your care plan.
I already have test results — can you still help?
Yes. You can share your existing results before your consultation. If there are many, there may be a small preparation fee, which we will always discuss with you first.
How does the nutrition side work?
We provide tailored advice on anti-inflammatory nutrition. For more complex cases, we may recommend working alongside our nutritional therapist to accelerate progress and improve outcomes.
