Listen to doctor: Physicians do not prescribe medications that may be harmful in a frivolous manner. Your gynecologist is trying to treat you effectively. You may feel this is 'unhealthy' and refuse it, but until you study the subject and their recommendations scientifically would avoid judgments based on 'feelings'. Why bother going to doctor if you do not plan to listen or go get a second opinion.

Listen to the doctor: It is well known that the majority of women with endometriosis wil eventually experience recurring symptoms - even after surgical treatment. It is also well known that the pill will slow or prevent that recurrence. Your doctor is not likely to recommend a treatment that is unsafe or unhealthy. However, if you are not comfortable with your doctor's advice, get a second opinion.
