Getting laparoscopy worked wonders for me. You want a surgeon who specializes in it for endo specifically for sure. After recovery, I could have sex without pain, had almost no episodes for a year or more, and my pain is still below where it was then about 3.5 years later. It does come back, and I'll probably get another in the next year, but for me it was worth it.

Yes, laparoscopic surgery can help reduce endometriosis pain. This minimally invasive procedure is the most common type of surgery used to both diagnose and treat endometriosis.

Yes, laparoscopic surgery can help reduce endometriosis pain. This minimally invasive procedure is the most common type of surgery used to both diagnose and treat endometriosis. During the procedure, doctors make small incisions in the belly and use a camera and special tools to find and remove endometrial tissue. However, it's important to know that pain relief from surgery is usually temporary. Some people may need more than one surgery over time because the abnormal tissue can grow back. The procedure can be challenging since endometrial tissue may look similar to healthy areas, and small growths can be harder to find and remove.
