Hello Belinda, My name is Ashley. I had the lap done 5 weeks ago with ablasion and hysteroscopy. The procedure was not that bad. Cysts are something that you need to be concerned with especially if you have numerous amounts of them. If it is a small cyst, then you shouldn't be woried that much. Your body will naturally take care of it. If the endo is back. TAKE CARE OF IT NOW! This is not a disease to mess around with. Good luck! ASHLEY
