Mr Sanjaya Kalkur

I qualified in medicine from one of the best medical schools in India, with a distinction and a University Gold Medal. I then did my postgraduate Gynaecological residency programme, leading on to the MS degree. After coming to the UK in 2003, I trained in a good tertiary hospital in Belfast and then did my higher Gynaecological training in some of the best hospitals such as St Marys and Chelsea in London to obtain focussed training in Gynaecology and Minimal Access surgery. Following completion of my specialist training I completed a Fellowship in Gynaecological Oncology at Oxford. I am happy that I was trained by some of the world leading experts in Gynaecology. In 2012 I was appointed as a Consultant at Southend Hospital NHS Trust where my special area of interest are Outpatient Hysteroscopy, Endometriosis, Minimal access surgery including keyhole hysterectomy for early stage endometrial cancers and Colposcopy and BMS Accredited menopause specialist. I have more than 20 years of experience in obstetrics and gynaecology, and have special skills accreditation in laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery for treatment of fibroids, pelvic pain, endometriosis, infertility and menstrual disorders and early stage endometrial cancers. I am one of few fully accredited Menopause specialists from British Menopause Society (BMS) nationally and hence can provide specialist consultation regarding HRT. In my private practice I see patients with pelvic pain, menstrual disorders, vulval problems, menopausal problems, fibroids and endometriosis and I have special expertise in the investigation and treatment of heavy and irregular periods. To investigate abnormal bleeding, including post-menopausal bleeding, I perform diagnostic hysteroscopy to visualise the inside of the womb. I offer various treatment options for heavy and irregular periods, including the use of the Mirena System and NovaSure endometrial ablation. I have a private gynaecological practice caring for women from Southend-On-Sea, Leigh-On-Sea, Thorpe Bay, Shoeburyness, Rochford, Castlepoint, Rayleigh, Basildon, Chelmsford and entire Essex. I am also able to offer Online consultation for patients across UK and International patients. I can offer these treatments in an Outpatient setting when these are the patient's wishes. I perform laparoscopic (keyhole surgery) hysterectomy as an alternative to abdominal and vaginal hysterectomy, which reduces the hospital stay for the patient, recovery time and scarring. I also perform laparoscopic removal of cysts and ovaries. I believe in the importance of patient choice and offering a range of treatment options, empowering patients to reach suitable treatment decisions tailored for their individual needs. I am committed to providing high quality care for all my patients and give patients adequate time to understand the nature of their problems.
