Ablation and possible endometriosis

I am scheduled for a balloon ablation on Thursday to, I hope, get long, heavy periods under control. I also have bad cramps with my periods. As I understand it, if endo is causing the cramps (or contributing), the ablation won't help with that problem (cramping). I'd still be much happier, even if I still have pain, to just to have the bleeding reduced. My doctor will be doing a laparoscopy at the same time (tubal ligation) and will look for endo.

If he finds endo, is there any reason not to go ahead with the ablation anyway, just to reduce the bleeding, with the understanding that I'll still have pain to deal with? Or is there some reason that I *shouldn't* have an ablation if endo is present?

Many thanks.
