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

Question

Is it safe for me to travel after laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Yes and No: The definitive diagnosis of endometriosis does require surgery, but the presumptive diagnosis is accurate over 95% of the time.

Answer 3

Depends: I don't think the goal is to avoid surgery, but I do think that most women should avoid repeated unnecessary surgeries. Surgery is required for a diagnosis to be made and sometimes for certain problems from endometriosis. Almost always a combination of surgical and medical treatment is needed.

Answer 4

You don't : Agree, but the treatment for endo is excisional surgery. If done correctly, there is little need for medical therapy. The research and recommendations for endo have been clouded for years, but you will see more and more in the future about excisional surgery. It would be important at your age to cure and stop the disease, which might prove to extend fertility and hormone production for you.

Answer 5

No: There is no cure for endometriosis. And even surgery, even a hysterectomy, cannot cure endometriosis. Sometimes it is not even visible but is still present. The most powerful medicine to suppress endometriosis is lupron (leuprolide).

Answer 6

No: We do not have cure for endometriosis, we have good treatment for pain control.

Answer 7

Endo surgery: It can be diagnosed by either laparoscopy (belly-button) or laparotomy (open belly, ) and can also be treated (in principle) either way. The extent of the disease and the doctor's comfort level usually dictates this.

Answer 8

Laparoscopy: Minimally invasive surgery resection of the disease is the standard surgery. A hysterectomy is not always necessary or even helpful.

Answer 9

Doesn't sound right: If you have an endometrioma (based on an ultrasound), then it really is best treated surgically. Your doctor may be reluctant to operate on you a 3rd time because there may not be much he can do. In the absence of an endometrioma, you may want to consider a medication (lupron), that temporarily puts you into menopause, thus starving endometriosis. If you have endo, then symptoms improve.

Answer 10

Fertility Specialist: At this point you would likely benefit from seeing a specialist. There are different options and different concerns. Surgery is still an option but you really need to know what your goals are. I would not do anything before seeing a specialist. And yes only surgery will remove an endometrioma but not all of them need to be removed.

Answer 11

Depends: If the surgical procedure was for removing endometrioma deposits and reducing compression of your tubes then your chances of conceiving would likely improve. If the surgery resulted in loss of your ovaries or damage to your tubes then your chances of conception would plummet.

Answer 12

ENDOMETRIOSIS: You need an evaluation from your Obstetrician-Gynecologist to find out your options. It is appropriate to obtain a second opinion from another Doctor if you have concerns about your treatment.
