Re: Larger Ovaries

I have had three surgeries for endometriosis and each time I do, I am
told that my ovaries are twice the size of what they should be. They
have always explained to me that it is because of scarring as a result
of endometriosis or small cysts over a period of time. They usually
simply burn off the scar tissue and my ovaries are normal sized again. I
hope this helps.
