I suggest you find a new doctor there are a handful of specialists and I
am not referring to any ob/gyn or gyn who has an interest in
endometriosis b/c they don't have enough experience. There are a small
number of physicians who practice the LAPEX method with surgical
excision and many patients with severe cases have gone on to being
tremendously better w/o the drugs. I have endo and personally
researched this. a good website is http://www.endometriosisassn.org
they have on their website where a physician locator for those who
specialize in treating endo. The important thing is how many cases a
year they handle and if they use lapex. The alternative is not one
ablation won't really help you.
I have a great doctor here in Atlanta, if you want the name of one. The
majority of his patients come from out of state b/c their are so few
specialist who use lapex.
