I always think excision is the best way to go whether it’s severe or mild endo. My specialist has always told me that excision is the gold standard treatment of endo. I’ve never had ablation which is burning it away so don’t have experience of that 🙂 x
My top specialist told me burning away endometriosis can damage vital organs and can't go deep enough for this reason. Excision is the gold standard as far as I am aware. xx
I can only really answer from my experience and this might not be the same for everyone. I had a laparoscopy and ablation (burning) and my pain returned fairly quickly and worse than before. I wasn't offered excision but if I was to go back I think I would have pushed for that if I could. I read that quite a lot of women that have ablation find their pain comes back quickly. I have recently been back to my gynae and they have advised against another laparoscopy at the minute because my last one wasn't only a few months ago. Again, this is just my experience but thought it was worth adding x
