Question 1

is there any other way other them laparoscopic sugery to diagnose endometriosis? does it go away on its own?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Endometriosis is terible painful disease , can be diagnosed clincally, to prove it  by pathology you need laparocopic biopsy, if you willing to suffer for years with out treatments , wait till menopause to go away.

Question 2

please tell me can endometriosis go away by itself?

Accepted Answer

We do not believe: it can or it does. Generally it i progressive, which means it gets worse. It is not possible to prove this absolutely but all evidence points towards it not resolving on its own. Good wishes.

Question 3

does endometriosis go away permentantly without causing infertility?

Accepted Answer

Not often: Most of the time endometriosis stays or can get worse.  

It does get better after menopause and during pregnancy.

Question 4

if i stop hormone therapy, will the endometriosis go away?

Accepted Answer

Hormone therapy: Usually helps suppress endometriosis but it depends on what exactly you are taking. If you stop the therapy, assuming you are taking Lupron (leuprolide) for example, the endometriosis will slowly become responsive to estrogen and Progesterone that your body will re-start making. I would speak to your doctor about your homrone therapy as it relates to endometriosis before making decisions to stop.

Question 5

i found out i have endometriosis 3 months ago, i was put on visanne, my period stopped for 2 months then came back for a day went away and then back again, i get random bursts of severe period pains that dont go away and last up to two weeks?

Accepted Answer

If pain is : not better on birth control  pills, and also  if using ibuprofen as well. Then the next step is a medication that suppresses or blocks gonadotropin releasing hormone (GNRH). This would suppress estrogen production and cause regression of the endometriosis implants and decrease pain.

Question 6

had laprascope, had abrasions in womb doc separated them, inactive endometriosis & fibroids will my pain go away now ?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: AS your doctor told you this is very frustrating.  You can treat the endometriosis with mediction, but the side effects can be frustrating.  Once you reach menopause it will resolve naturally.  Fibroids as well become less of a problem after menopause.  If things are just terrible for you hysterectopmy and oopherectomy is a solution.  Your doctor will help you decide what is best in your case.

Question 7

i have severe pain on my stomach, and the ultrasound and ct scan showed a cyst on my right ovary. i also have a endometriosis. will the cyst go away?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on what kind of cyst it is and how big it is.  An endometriotic cyst may shrink with certain medications, but usually requires surgery. Simple cysts frequently resolve on their own, especially they are not large. There are many other types of cysts and rumors of the ovary that may require surgery.

Question 8

i have been put on yaz due to endometriosis, have been on it for 3 months and i am experiencing severe side effects as more than usual migraines, cramping in the legs, weight gain and breast tenderness. is this normal? will it go away after a while?

Accepted Answer

I think the answer: is in your question: you state the side effects are severe. While not common, the side effects you list are, largely, ones reported occasionally with Yaz. There is no way to predict if they will improve after 3 months. Since they are bothering you "severely," I would urge you to discuss alternative treatments for endometriosis with your treating Gynecologist. Good wishes:)

Question 9

going for my 16 operation for endometriosis?

Accepted Answer

More Control: That is a lot of surgery. At some point your risks in surgery are very high and complications occur. It sounds like you need better medical management of infertility. Hopefully you are followed by a fertility specialist (i.e. Endometriosis expert).

Question 10

is it possible my wife is going through early menopause or is it endometriosis at 43?

Accepted Answer

Either: Either is possible. They usually cause different symptoms. Endometriosis causes more pain symptoms. Menopause affects periods, vaginal dryness, hot flashes etc. Both would warrant and evaluation.
