You might want to find a doctor that specializes in that field. I have
a long history of ovarian cysts, endo, and I have a lot of scar tissue.
I know how painful it can be, I have had shots of demeral that didn't
work. My doctor has me on lupron now its a 3 month treatment and so far
its working great, i had a period with no pain at all. There are
possible side effects but I have yet to get one
