Re: Adhesions/Endo/treatment questions

Who is your doctor? 4 surgeries is a lot, and I'm somewhat surprised that they didn't remove endo at the last three? Or did they? Did he burn your endo out?

I'm just surprised because most all the specialists use excision, not laser. What does he say about your headaches? Did he suggest the Lupron?

A complete hysterectomy probably won't help unless he removes all the endo, and the adhsions at the same time, and if that's the case, why not just remove all the endo?

Sorry, I don't know your doctor, but your options don't sound quite right to me.
