After years of debilitating pain, I was finally diagnosed with endometriosis via laparoscopy last month. My surgeon excised what she found, but she emphasized that this is a chronic condition and we need a long-term management plan. We're now discussing endometriosis treatment options for preventing recurrence, including various hormonal therapies, but I'm concerned about side effects and their impact on future family planning. For those further along in this journey, what has your experience been with different post-surgical medical treatments, and how did you weigh the pros and cons with your doctor?
