Re: Could Endo be back so soon?

In my case the endometriosis was so severe (plus having 3 pedulous fibroids) that surgery was not an option but a necessity. Since I met with my doctor 2 times to discuss the surgery, I knew he would be using absorbable adhesion barriers where necessary. There is a lot of evidence that these greatly reduce the incidence of post opertive scar tissue. Although not a guarantee, I made sure I got ALL of the information and then I weighed all the risks associated with the surgery to make an informed decision. In my case i chose a doctor who was like-minded in stopping my pain and doing what he could to preserve my fertility. Time will tell there. But as far as pain, so far so good.

This is all besides the point. The bottom line is regardless of whether a person has a long history with endometriosis or has been recently diagnosed, it is absolutely key to learn all you can about this disease, then see a specialist you trust. There are far too many gyno doctors who are not as informed about this disease as well as they should be. Whether you're told you need surgery or another treatment it is so important to get a second opinion to help ensure you get the most effective treatment for you.
