Hello! I am Dr. Gladis Germano, OB-GYN, endometriosis specialist and endoscopist. Besides being a physician, I am a mother of 3, I teach surgery to gynaecology residents at the university (Faculty of Medicine, UdelaR) and collaborate in endometriosis research with Uruguayan scientists (particularly, metabolomics studies in patient cohorts).

Besides my everyday clinical work, I like to spread awareness about endometriosis, so you might see me creating social media content on Instagram or being interviewed about this topic (see the Entrevistas/Interviews section to see examples). I was always passionate about helping my patients get a good diagnosis/treatment and to feel understood and supported during their journey. It's still a disease that is under-diagnosed and not properly treated due to its complexity and heterogeneous presentation. I contribute providing top-notch care and creating a comfortable and positive environment for them. 

For more information on my CV, international surgical training and scientific work please scroll down, after the Services and Contact sections.

Here is a summary of the services I offer. (Can be done in English)

• General Gynaecology (OB-GYN)

• Endometriosis assessment

• Dysmenorrhea (severe and frequent menstrual cramps during period) and other irregularities

• Hysteroscopy

• Laparoscopy

I work with hospitals and insurances such as Blue Cross Blue Shield (Oliva Clinic), but I can also offer you to meet independently at my private practice. I have offices on two different locations in Uruguay: Montevideo and Atlántida. Please, find below the specific information on how to book an appointment and a map with the address. Online consultation is also possible. 

If in person is not possible for you and the problem you have can be dealt with remotely, I also offer online sessions via video call from any part of the world. Please, send a WhatsApp text message to 098901900 to book an appointment.
