Wait: You cannot diagnose endometriosis for certain with ultrasound under any circumstances. Solid septated ovarian mass can go with endometriosis or other possibilities. You should pursue this with the doctor further; if no other options given then i'd pursue the second opinion, you need a firm diagnosis..

See gynecologist: Endometriosis usually presets with a cystic lesion on ultrasound not solid. If you have a solid or complex( cystic and solid components) then you should see a gynecologist and consider surgical removal. Particularly if you have not had a history of endometriosis before.
