Endo and fibroids

Hi all - I was diagnosed with stage 4 endo over 20 years ago and have had 3 laps, laser ablation and zoladex. I now have multiple fibroids as well, some quite large and some large endometrial cysts. I've always suffered pain but now have a lot of bulking (20 weeks size uterus when last checked) pressure and frequent urination. Have been offered ua embo but told may not be effective as not known how much of my problem is from endo and how much fibroids. Anyone have similar experience? Can anyone recommend a consultant with experience in both. Thank you:)

Thank you! That's fantastically helpful. I'm London based and was recently signed off from the royal free gynae dept who suggested uae may be the way to go. My last mri said pouch of Douglas involved and I do have haemorrhoids which only bleed monthly. Your post is fascinating and I've learnt so much. Thank you. Was unaware of these specialist centres and keen to get a 2nd opinion. Thank you!
