Have any of you considered excision surgery with an endometriosis
specialist. Its much different than a typical lap with laser and has
much better sucess rates. A good endo specialist can remove all the
endo without having to remove any organs and restore your anatomy back
to normal. The chance of scarr tissue or it coming back is like 5% in 5
years. Most people only have to have one surgery. They also do not
believe in treating endo with drugs, just through excision. Just
thought I would throw my 2 cents in.
