I'm yet to be diagnosed by lap but my consultant seemed confident I have endometriosis.
My symptoms escalated after stopping the combined pill and now I've been back on it for 2 months I feel like I've been given a new lease of life again (I do still have niggles but nowhere near as servere as they were).
Could someone explain exactly what the role is of the combined pill (hormone therapy) on endometriosis, is it only for pain relief or does it slow it down etc?
Many thanks in advance x

Hello! I had my lap a couple of weeks ago and asked my surgeon the same thing. He said hormone therapy basically slows down the growth, doesn't stop it entirely but slows it down significantly and should make periods lighter as a result. Fingers crossed he's right! I hope it helps you 😊 xx
