1. Is My Pain Due To Endometriosis?

http://www.scmc.org/endo/html/question1.html As good as laparoscopic electrosurgical excision of endometriosis is, it will not treat pain caused by other things. Pain due to endometriosis is often described in very specific geographical or anatomical terms and is associated with specific points of tenderness on exam. These patients have the best results. If a patient cannot describe her pain accurately, or if pelvic examination does not reproduce the pain, excision of endometriosis may not provide any pain relief at all.

Other causes of pelvic pain can include non-endometriotic ovarian cysts, fibroid tumors, adhesions, adenomyosis, and other unknown factors. For this reason, there is no way to guarantee pain relief after endometriosis surgery.
