Please get another opinion! As Michelle said, hysterectomies don't cure
endo! If this doctor could help you, he would have at your lap. Knowing
that you have endo on your bladder and bowels, it would be a very good
idea to find a specialist who is comfortable excising the disease from

Hope this helps!
