DOCTOR,
I’M 26 YEARS OLD AND JUST HAD A OVARIAN CYST REMOVED BY LAPAROSCOPY. WHILE THEY WERE REMOVING THE CYST THEY NOTICED THAT I HAD ENDOMETRIOSIS AND THEY REMOVED WHAT THEY CAN AT THE TIME OF SURGERY. I’VE BEEN ON THE HORMONAL THERAPY FOR 3 WEEKS AND IT IS NOT HELPING ANY. MY QUESTION IS WHAT IS NEXT?

Dear Sharkey-
The success of surgery for endometriosis depends on how much of the disease they were able to discover and how it was treated. In my experience, we find it is best to use the laser to ablate the disease and surrounding seedlings-it is imperative to have a follow-up scope within 3-5 months for a repeat treatment. It is very possible that you gyn did not find all the sites and this is why you are having continued pain. Ask your doctor if he/she would consider a second procedure to determine your current status. Good Luck
