Re: What should I expect next?From: Alicia (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu Aug 19 22:09:43 2004
The only definite way to diagnose Endo is to have a Laparoscopy. This is usually done as day surgery. The procedure itself takes around 20min but if they find the Endo they may choose to try to remove some while they are there making the surgery longer.
