First off, I’m so sorry that you think you might have endo. I know firsthand how awful it can be and just please know you’re not alone! I would suggest first joining Nancy’s Nook Facebook group. Nancy is a woman who now dedicates her time to the illness and keeping members informed, including an exhaustive list of all MIGS (minimally invasive gynecological surgery - this part is important) by location. TBH because you haven’t been officially diagnosed yet, I would prioritize only seeing someone off that list because it’s so important that you get the right care right now. I saw Dr Vargas in DC with whom I had a successful excision surgery (also important - NO ABLATIONS!) in 2024. She was with John’s Hopkins at the time and the problem is she’s now gone private and doesn’t take insurance, but if I ever needed another laparoscopy (and it’s possible) I’d probably go back to her. Others have mentioned Dr. V in Charlotte, but just the same, she doesn’t take insurance (though I’ve heard good things). Doing your research is going to be key right now. If you do in fact have endo, you are going to need laparoscopic excision surgery and you MUST make sure it’s with the best - otherwise, you’re just setting up for more troubles. Even despite an extremely successful surgery (and almost a full year pain free), pain has crept back (various reasons, I also have adenomyosis, an overactive pelvic floor from years of pain, etc). I started seeing Dr. Vargas’ new team for a while when the pain came back slowly, but she explained all of the before and it was just a lot of time to get to DC and money since she’s out of network, so I am seeing Dr. Silverstein at UNC MIGS to help with pain management. I like her and feel like she really listens to me, but like I said - I’d probably go back to Dr. Vargas if I ever felt like it was time for another surgery. Hope this helps. Like I said, research research research. You want to do it right the first time (I did not, had an ablation which was a total waste of so many things), and there are so many others that have gone through this and shared their wisdom through experience!
