How many laps?

Hi I think my endo has returned. I have had around 5 laps before and each time they have found a small amount of endo and removed it. I have had mirena coil which always works for about a year and a half them stops. Can anyone think of anything else that worked for them and would they give me another lap or is it damaging my insides? Xxxx

i have a similar problem i had my first key hole surgery over a year ago and they found endo i then had another op to remove the endo i was put on the pill to try and stop it coming back but almost exactly a year on from the second op i have symptoms like i had before my op and have heard stories of women having the op like 7 times which im finding really scary i read a really good article on endo in the august glamour magazine i get the feeling that the drs only know of short term relief for endo and not long term
