Hi all,
So yesterday after months of waiting, I got a diagnostic laparoscopy. My doctor burned two lesions on my left ovary, but didn’t feel that it was safe to burn a lesion on my left ureter and a lesion on/near my colon/rectum. She said that there was no further surgical treatment needed for those spots she couldn’t get. My concern is that most of my symptoms have been bowel symptoms. I’ve gotten to the point where I have rectal bleeding during my period. If she didn’t remove the spot on my bowel, won’t those symptoms just continue? I love my doctor, but she is by no means a endometriosis specialist and I’ve read that burning the lesions has a greater chance of them returning. The closest specialist to me is Dr. Sinervo in Atlanta. Has anyone dealt with him? Or does anyway know how long I would have to wait for a second surgery? I don’t want to leave those lesions in their for my endometriosis to continue unchecked. I’m 27 and I haven’t had kids yet and I want to. I want to be sure I’m doing everything possible to treat this so that when I decide to have kids one day I have a better chance. Thanks in advance for any help.
