I am currently taking Visanne which has been working pretty well until recently. I am wondering what other treatments have been helpful for others? Does diet actually help with the symptoms and pain?
The only thing helping me really is a hotwater botle.
Hi everyone! When I first got my period at 10 years old (10 years ago now), I had extreme pain and so went to my gynaecologist who suggested that it may be endometriosis, but due to how young I was decided against doing a laparoscopy. Over the years I have tried 3 different types of birth controls, many different pain killers, anti inflammatories, etc., and I recently had an IUD put in.

Anyone had laparoscopic surgery for ovarian endometriosis? Be it the left ovary or right ovary. (Mine was on the left ovary around 6cm)
Had surgery last November 2022, and it’s now august 2023, still feel an achy pain that comes and goes in the lower left abdomen.
Just want to know if anyone has experience this before. (Ps I’m taking Visanne (progestin hormonal treatment) but doubt this should be causing the sharp pain on the left side.
