For those newbies....Laser is out-dated for some procedures. Look into harmonic scalpel surgery with your laps. It can remove scarring and growths on organs that the laser cannot go near such as arteries, etc. Not all docs know of this and not all hospitals have this but it's been around for a few years and I have had good success with it in removal of disease, etc. when laser could not. Best Wishes, Sally

Arinna, I am a 25 year old woman who suspects she has endo. I am undergoing a lapiscopy in December to find out for sure. My monthly cramps have gotten progressively worse over the past year and I have had sever pains in my lower back a week before my period and a week after. If I play Tennis or take a walk that sometimes helps but not always. I do not know if exercise has any correlation to the relief but it is definately something to bring up to your doctor. Since you have not been able to conceive in over a year of trying, you need to consult your doctor before things get worse. I know if you do have Endo on your ovaries they can try and laser some of it off in the Lapriscopy to increase the chances of conception. Good Luck! At Sun, 29 Oct 2000, anonymous@obgyn.net wrote: >
