Advice please

Hello. I have just been diagnosed with endo and have just been told it's in three areas and its active, but no mention of which stage it is or anything else. I have been told to decide which treatment I want - either surgery to have it lasered out or 6 months of injections that will simulate the menopause. I don't feel ready to try for children at the moment but hoping to in about 3 years when I turn 30 but realise I may have problems.

I feel as though I haven't been given much information at all about the pros and cons of both options so have tried to do my own research online, but if anyone has any advice as to what they recommend or what treatment they have had I would really appreciate any advice. Thanks

Hi hunny, how where you diagnosed, did you have a laporoscopy,

My gyne doc thinks I have endo or adenomyosis, he said I could have surgery to confirm and if found he will cut (excision) any out if found, or could go down the medication root, i opted for confirmation first and excision, personally I think if it's there I want it gone,

Most surgeons use excision as it gets more of the endo, don't have it lasered as this isn't a very good procedure apparently, check your surgeon is an endo specialist if he isn't i would find one before moving forward,

I bet you are glad of some answers, I can't wait to finally have a diagnosis, I'm more worried about them not finding anything,

Good luck xxxxx

Having a baby isnt proven to stop endo... Some ppl suffer during and after pregnanxt others are fine during pregnancy and its back after. I personally didnt want the injections so opted for lapo to remove the endo. Again for some they are totally fine after and others it returns.

For myself it comes from my womb lining so will come back i just need learn to manage it apparently... The diets soo strict and i cant manage it.. iv had a 2nd lapo and kinda feeling better...as womb removals no option for me due to age. Sorry im not being helpful... Maybe get appt with gynae and request more info on your personal self... Write down all you want to know and take it with you as we all forget things when we get in the room to see them.

hope you get more answers.x
