It makes my blood boil when I see references that women are somehow the key to a doctor's independent wealth.

Firstly, any time a doctor goes into the OR his malpractice insurance rates are subject to going up so he/she does not automatically make more money. Yes, surgery costs more than a pill - doesn't an engine rebuild cost more than an oil change? Why is it that when a woman does not go to a doctor with a problem and walk out 5 minutes later with an answer her husband automatically says, "He saw you coming, now he's gonna make a ton of money off of us." That is just a stupid remark to make and you are NOT making your wife feel any better. In fact, Andrew, you are making her feel guilty for being in pain or sick so just stop saying thoughtless things like that.

Secondly - perhaps the problem your wife is having in that particular spot between vagina and anus is NOT endo related but is instead due to scar tissue or improper healing post-childbirth and if that is the case then surgery may indeed completely solve that problem.

Lupron works for some but not all. Hormone treatments work for some but not all. Hysterectomy works for some but not all. Patience, perserverance and educating yourself does work. Keeping records of your pain, etc. does work. Being supportive, helpful and understanding does work.

Good luck
