A member asked:

Does endometriosis always return after surgery? we are trying for our third child and i'd like to know if i might have trouble again conceiving.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very possible: It would be impossible for OB/GYN to guarantee that they could get rid of all endometriosis cells with surgery, so they can regenerate. On the other hand, you have had 2 children, so keep up the good work.
