2nd Laparoscopy

[char93]

Am really new to this site and this is my first post so hoping this hasn't been asked too much already! I had my first laparoscopy when I was 17 and I was diagnosed with endo, at the time they said it wasn't severe enough to perform laser treatment and basically told me that I have to put up with it and just keep trying different medications, 5 years and lots of medication later I still suffer pretty badly and so have been referred back to the gynaecology clinic, I am not sure whether they will ask to do another laparoscopy or send me away yet but my worry is that I will have another operation and once again they will say it's not severe enough to treat. I understand the complications that come with it but I dont think I can take another 5 years of suffering, has anyone else had a similar experience and if anyone has had the laser treatment would you say it has improved your pain? Sorry for the big post!

I do take the contraceptive pills which helps to some extent although I do still suffer from pain whilst taking, but the main issue is when I have to have my break its unbearable. I am due to see the endometriosis specialist on Monday but I don't want to waste my time going into hospital and taking time off of work just for them to say "yes you still have it but no we are still not going to treat it" x

No it's at a general hospital but he is apparently the endo specialist for this region
