It is even harder to treat when that is not something a doctor specializes in. From having your first Laparoscopy to determining the right birth control, and/or if going on Lupron is the right option for you; there are a lot of stages you will go through to manage your pain and ensure you are still able to maintain your fertility. Finding a doctor who understands what you are going through and finding the best options for you is key. As a woman with Endometriosis, you will still need to do a lot of research on your own, however having a specialist on your side will save some time and faster pain relief.
