A member asked:
Can endometriosis cause pelvic pain outside of menstruation? my dr says no, but wants to do a laproscopy. what are the risks of this kind of surgery?

Yes to both: Endometriosis will cause pelvic pain related to the menstrual cycle and also painful intercourse, ; chronic pelvic pain. Laporoscopy is an excellent idea to rule out other manifestations of endometriosis. As with any surgical procedure there are risks but in this case the odds are in your favor for a good outcome with this procedure.

Info: Yes there can be pain, but it is usually much worse during menstruation, a laparoscopy is the usual way to DX this and it is almost always safe - but it there is a problem (rare) it can be very serious. Read this info and then talk more w/ your doctor. It should be a good procedure for you. Best! http://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/endometriosis.
