Has Anyone Had A Seriously Impossible Time Getting A Laparoscopy?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Chicago, IL

ve been experiencing symptoms of endometriosis since I was 16. I am now 32 and things have been up and down for years but they have been overall significantly worse the last year

Basically, at this point I just want a laparascopy but I cannot find a doctor who will do this and I do not understand why. I’ve been to the ER twice in 2021… read more

Lupron can cause many intense side effects, much more than a laparoscopy! If you don’t mind traveling to the Detroit area, Womens Excellence in Endometriosis is a great practice with several locations in metro Detroit. They will take your concerns seriously. I had to go through several others before finding a helpful care team. Best of luck.

That is so frustrating - sorry you are having difficulty trying to get (the gold standard) care. On my fertility app, everyone in the US is getting laps constantly, so I was surprised to read this as it seems they give them without second thought if you want a baby - that is so unfair. I would keep hunting for an endometriosis specialist - your quality of life is important and I hope you can find a Dr who understands that. Unfortunately I’m not familiar with any in your area.
