Hi,

* The endometriosis is an annoying condition particularly with random and severe sporadic pains, interference with sex life as well.

There are multiple options of laparoscopic fulgeration, hysterectomy and advanced hormone therapy as having good to better results depending upon the host response.

However, I would like to have your all previous documents of lab, ultrasound, CT scan and others with details of treatment parts provided till now, so that better co relation can be figured out to discuss still further scope in this issue.

Wish we could discuss ahead and find some best possible directions to move forward for curing this condition.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
