Second opinion

I was diagnosed  November 2nd after a lap. I have been really unhappy with the treatment I have received by me current DR. So I have been referred to another physician. I want suggestions from all you old hats at this. When I go to the new dr what are the important things I should ask him/look for. I know the big things. Like what he would suggest for me etc and his normal reccomendations. But I'm so new to this are there any other questions that i should ask? I just want the best treatment!  I have researched him and he has good ratings and comes well reccomeneded!  I don't think he specializes in endo but there are no specialist in this area. I will look into that next. Thanks all!!!!

Lap can be avoided at any time. Have you tried birth control pills continuously to see if it will shrink the cysts?

Also I should mention that you should try going on a gluten free, dairy free, red meat free and sugar free diet.  I have also found that through out the years that this is beneficial and you will be in less pain,.

Where do you live?  I will help you find a specialist in your area. Trust me this is the direction you want to go first.

Secondly after your surgery were you put on any medication such as Lupron or BCP to suppress the endo?

Those are two main things that need to be done. However I have done this since my surgery 5yrs ago and am now looking into Natural solutions. I am scared as the BCP has worked amazing for me.
