Im new here, how do i go about pushing at the doctors for follow up tests?

Hi, I've been going to the doctors for the last few years for symptoms relating to endometriosis. Nothing has been diagnosed apart from it being a 'chronic illness' although my new doctor seems to think that's what it is. However, i had a laparoscopy in 2014 which came back clear but ever since then Ive struggled even more with the symptoms. Has anyone been diagnosed with endo after a second laparoscopy and how did you push for getting a second one? I feel i am at my wits end with trying to get a diagnosis :( Thank you for your time x

Thank you for getting back to me. These are some of the exact syptoms that i suffer from. My new doctor seems more determined to find out what is wrong and sent be for an ultrasound and blood test which both came up clear but they seem reluctant on putting me for a second lap because of the first one coming back clear. This gives me hope that i can ask about being referred. Thank you so much for your help :)
