Dr. Sayed Al-Akhras has spent decades working closely with women through his work as a gynecologist, witnessing the psychological, physical, and societal challenges that women with endometriosis face, which is a complex and confusing condition. He describes endometriosis as a “silent snake,” symbolizing its hidden yet devastating impact on patients, their families, and society as a whole. He noticed how the lack of awareness and the delayed diagnosis, averaging 8 years, made the challenges become even more severe. His vision goes beyond merely confronting direct challenges, as his real dream is to alleviate the pain of every woman. This dream led him to establish Endometriosis Egypt (Endo Egypt). His goal isn’t just to educate women about the symptoms, causes, and treatment of endometriosis. He also aims to raise awareness across society, empowering a new generation with the knowledge and tools to manage the condition effectively in the future. Through this, he hopes to reduce the prevalence of endometriosis as well.

At Endo Egypt, we’re committed to providing support and guidance to every woman suffering in silence. We’re working to reduce the stigma surrounding the disease in society. and to build a society in which every woman feels that her voice is heard and surrounded by the support she deserves.
