Endo on bowel.. or something else?

Hello! I know that endo on the bowel is not something unheard of nor is it pleasant, and I'm not sure what's going on. I had my 3rd lap in May and after years of pain, having had endo for nearly 10 years, the gynae said she found nothing endo related in there. This confused me but knowing nothing is there settled my pain a bit... but she did tell me she found a small lump on my bowel. This terrifies me as it isn't endometriosis, she would have removed it surely? So what could it be?? I'm frightened and having panick attacks now, fretting over what if's and oh no's... Any ladies had a similar experience??

Hi! I never had endo on my bowel before, well that's what previous lap showed, or perhaps I had and I was too zoned out by the anaesthesia to remember exactly what they said to me. Yea, I'll ask about the previous results I think... and yes I had it burnt off and pain relief given before, though there was nothing this time around. I see the gynae in the week for a follow up and hopefully I'll get answers. My symptoms appear when the period is due, only one sided and where the lump is situated. I have no blood with bowel movements... I just started to panic and freak out by over worrying but thank you for the advice, I'll definitely ask for previous results and see what happens when I see the gynae. Hoping it's nothing I need to worry over.

The left side, and a dull ache most of the time even when a period isn't due. I do get pain on the right but not often.
