HI there

You will be probably asked to fill in a questionnaire re pain sypmtoms etc

They may want to do an internal exam to maybe feel for nodules ,adhesions ,they may also request you have a scan of some description ,although my consultant never did .

Go armed with all of your symptoms pain etc and if they feel it is appropriate you may be consented to a diagnostic laparoscopy in the future .

I hope this helps in some way but of course I am only going on what I have experienced

All the best
