Endo questions for first consultation

Hey ladies. I have my first consultation tomorrow with gynae and just wondering what type of questions I should be asking or whether from your experience there are questions I need to ask?

I have had a couple of scans for which both reports states "a few small cysts and features suggests adenomyosis". I know that the only definitive way to know for sure is when a hysterectomy is performed and samples are taken. But I also want them to investigate my symptoms which I've suffered with for years. I'm pushing for a laparoscopy as I want to know either way whether I have endometriosis also as I can't keep suffering.

Thank you in advance xx

Hi I had gynecologist for the last year investigating had ultrasound, CT scans seen urology and I just asked her what is my options what kind of tests and investigations do I need she suggested I get a laparoscopy to remove endo but I just explained my pains and suffering for the last 15+ years and your experiences and what you can do for pain relief and what do they expect likely outcome. I also needed blood tests they may want to check a few things take their lead as they will have more answers and then ask your questions be completely honest about everything. Xx
