Hi all,
Just wanted to pose some questions to the group to get some feedback
I have been reading The Endometriosis Source Book by Mary Lou Ballweg and am
now wondering what some of you think of laporoscopy vs laporotomy and
excision vs vaporization as treatment.
I have talked to Dr. Cook who favors laporotomy and Dr. Albee and Dr. Lyons
who prefer laporoscopy, less invasive with the excision so samples can be
sent for pathology reports.
Also does anyone suffer from migraines, I have gotten them the last 2 months
after period, this month headache is now on day 4.
Was just wondering experiences, thoughts you might have.
If you have not read The Endometriosis Source Book, i recommend it , it is
very informative and helpful.
Thanks to all of you
Karen
