A member asked:

Does endometriosis remain and grow after removing endometrioma and endometriosis? ovaries are left. concerning about constant lower abdominal pain.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes it can: Endometriosis may continue to grow as long as you have a source of estrogen. Talk to your doctor about other treatments. You may want to try a progestin treatment or even better depo-lupron.
