Endometriosis is a common condition that affects about 1 in 10 women of reproductive age.
A Conversation Close to the Heart of Women’s Health
Dr. Adeléne Esterhuizen recently featured on Womanity, where she shared her journey of becoming an obstetrician and gynaecologist, a path shaped by determination, personal challenges, and a deep passion for women’s health.
In the interview, Dr. Esterhuizen reflects on her 16-year journey in medicine, from growing up in the bushveld and overcoming personal battles, to supporting women through all stages of reproductive health. She speaks about the importance of education, early intervention, and patient-centred care, always choosing conservative treatment where possible, and always treating with dignity and empathy.
Whether she’s delivering babies, managing high-risk pregnancies, or helping women navigate issues like infertility or endometriosis, Dr. Esterhuizen’s goal is simple: to empower women to understand their health and know they are not alone.
