It sounds like you also have PCOS.
There are two great surgeons in New york that are Endo specialists that I would recommend.
The first one I have actually met at the Endometriosis symposium in toronto she is amazing
Dr. Iris Orbuch
202 Spring Street, 2nd Floor,
NY, NY 10012
T: (212) 343-3040
F: (212) 343-3036
Specialisation: GYN only
Bowl/urinary tract surgery: Unknown
and this one. I have not heard of this surgeon but if it is posted on this site he is a good one esp since he/she does some of their own bowel and urinary work.
Dr. C.Y. Liu
NYC Women’s Robotic and Minimally Invasive Gynecology,
872 5th Ave,

Forgot to mention my ovaries were barely visible under the amount of cysts I had at the time. There was roughly 13 of them covering both ovaries and some were very large.
Hi! I live I upstate NY near Albany. My surgery was done by an oncologist because initially they feared I had ovarian cancer due to a very elevated CA 125. He removed all lesions and cysts on my ovaries via excision. I bleed on birth control and while on progestin currently I have bad bleeding and cramping. That's why I'm afraid the surgery was ineffective.
Have you ever been tested for PCOS? Recurrent cysts/multiple cysts are an indicator of it..
A hysterectomy will not cure endo I just want you to know that. Did you only have the cysts on the ovary or lesions else where? How were they removed? Laser or excision? Endo specialist or a reg OBGYN?
Lupron is brutal.
This is my suggestion. You need to see an Endo specialist and there are only a handful worldwide. Let me know where abouts you live and I can give you some names. Once I had my excision surgery in 2007 I went on Lupron for 3 months then was on the continuous BCP for 8 yrs. I had no Endo pain because it stopped my periods and ovulation therefore stopping the pain.
Let me know how I can help.
