A member asked:
I had a laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis. doctors suggest goin on the pill to avoid it recurring, i feel its unhealthy, what should i do now?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes and no: Going on the pill can decrease recurrence and is relatively side effect free. Hormone blockade ( lupron) is more effective but has more side effects.

Listen to doctor: It is widely known that the pill will slow down the progress and recurrence of endometriosis. The pill is not "unhealthy" - discuss your concerns with your doctor.
