Endometriosis: You need to see an obgyn that will help you manage your endometriosis. Medical therapy with hormone suppression with either birth control pills, depo- Provera (medroxyprogesterone) or even lipton injections is the key to keeping it under control. Cauterization via laparoscopy is just a temporary fix.
