i’ve recently been diagnosed with adenomyosis and endometriosis after dealing with pain for over 6 years. Adeno was found on an ultrasound but endo wasn’t. I was willing to do a laparoscopy to detect endo but my GP adviced against it and diagnosed me based on all the symptoms i mentioned. She advised against it because it can cause long term problems while the reward is basically not there because they only look and detect it then without removing it.
The thing is i feel frustrated because of the ongoing pain i experience daily. I’ve already done and am doing basically all of the things i see online that can help the symptoms, but i can barely find any relieve - specifically when it comes to my bowels. I do hear of people getting endo surgery but i was just wondering when it would be necessary and what the risks would be to keep in mind? I’m willing to pursue that as an option (if they’d even let me) but i’m scared of big risk and little reward to the point i’m just not sure whether i should even try?
