Re: Treatment SuggestionsFrom: anonymous@obgyn.netTue Jul 26 10:23:28 2005
Thank you, my prior surgery was done by laser so i will discuss with my doctor the excise option. Thank you for your input. The hormonal treatments are not an option for me either and felt I was running out of options. Thank you for your suggestions.
