HiSpeak to your GP about a referral back to gynae. Do you know whether it was superficial or deep endo? Are you taking anything for it such as the pill?

Have a look at the Endo UK site as there is quite a bit of info of different stages and treatments. Some manage to keep endo under control with diet. If you can get away without further surgery you are less likely to develop other adhesions. In the same breath don't do what I did and ignore things.

My first lap last year I had some Endo treated with Helica, he believed in treating if the diagnosis was confirmed at the time. It was a very late diagnosis age wise and there were a lot more adhesions than he expected but couldn't get every where at the time and referred me to a colleague who was supposed to be an Endo expert. That's a whole different story
