About us
Mr Constantin Durnea is a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist working in Luton & Dunstable as his main NHS hospital. He is a lead urogynaecology specialist in the hospital, treating vaginal prolapse, urinary incontinence, pelvic and vaginal pain, and recurrent urinary tract infections. He also treats more common gynaecological disorders such as menstrual problems, fibroids, polyps, ovarian cysts, PCOS, and chronic vaginal discharge.
Mr. Durnea qualified in medicine at Moldova’s Nicolae Testemițanu State University of Medicine and Pharmacy, where he also completed specialist training in obstetrics and gynaecology in 1997. Following his relocation to Ireland, he completed a PhD in pelvic floor dysfunction related to childbearing. He was awarded membership of the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland in 2011 and to the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists the following year. Mr. Durnea currently sees patients in private practice as a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist at Bishops Wood Circle, Spire Harpenden Hospitals, and Luton and Dunstable University Hospital.
Mr Durnea continues to be actively involved in ongoing research and regularly contributes to peer-reviewed journals. He participates in the activities of a number of professional bodies that look to improve standards within his specialty, including the International Urogynaecology Association and the International Collaboration for Harmonising Outcomes in Urogynaecology group. He is also an elected member of the International Urogynaecology Association's Terminology and Standardisation Committee which has sought his expertise to work towards a unification of urogynaecological linguistic terms.
Mr Durnea is an enthusiastic trainer and supervisor for trainee doctors. He additionally leads courses for general practitioners relating to his areas of expertise, such as pelvic floor dysfunction, female urinary incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse management.
