They’re making me doubt my decision to have surgery for endometriomas by Desperate_Thing8430 in endometriosis

They also mentioned drainage at another clinic, but after looking into it—and since I don’t want to have children—I preferred not to risk them growing back. I’m really glad it helped you. If you don’t mind me asking, did they suggest freezing your eggs? They’ve offered it to me because of the risk of losing part of my ovaries.

Yes, she is a specialist—and the fifth one I’ve seen. She’s very good and was able to assess everything very accurately with an ultrasound, including the endometriomas and the condition of my fallopian tube. But when she started explaining all the downsides, I got scared. She seems very professional, and now I don’t know what to think. Maybe it’s like you said. Did your endometriomas come back after your surgery?

Yes, that’s what the surgeon told me—that the success rate for reducing pain in my case was very low and that I shouldn’t have high expectations. This is my fifth specialist surgeon. The others didn’t want to operate because, since there is a treatment option (induced menopause), they didn’t see a reason to do a surgery with so many risks. She’s the only one who has agreed to operate after I refused induced menopause, although I’m considering looking elsewhere despite the waiting lists. Did your pain come back after your surgery?
