Q. I had the surgery when i was 17 and now im almost 20 and the endometriosis come back 3 months later after the surgery. So right now I am putting up with the pain, but my biggest concern or Fear is that I wont be able to have children? Does anyone know what the chances are of me being able to have them?
A. Not impossible, but not a high chance without medical intervention. You're also at a high risk of having an ectopic pregnancy due to tubal blockages caused by the tissue growth. Discuss this with your doctor, they can give you options to up your chances.
I wish you the best.
Edit-
Correction; women have a 20% chance of conceiving each month, not 40%. And that's with healthy, fertile couples!

What are the best treatments and products for endometriosis?
Q. Does anybody know of anyone who was cured by a specific treatment, product, or diet that had endometriosis? Or does anybody have any advice that would be helpful? Anything that can at least minimize or stop the pain? Please let me know, thanks!
A. When I was diagnosed with Endometriosis many years ago, it was already so bad that my ovaries were on the verge of rupturing so I had to have emergency surgery. The doctor removed one ovary and left the other teeny partial ovary so I wouldn't go into menopause at such an early age. He also removed massive endometrial tissue from my uterus and almost every other internal organ. Before the surgery Naproxen (Alleve) really helped but it was prescription strength back then.
I remember hearing back then that a pregnancy would "cure" it but I don't know anyone (including myself) that would choose that option and I am sure it involves much more along with the pregnancy.
My daughter was diagnosed too and had a laproscopy done to see how far along the disease was and it so bad that she had to have a total hysterectomy at age 27.
It is a scary thing to go through but just like many other health issues, an early diagnosis helps a lot! Talk with your doctor about your questions and concerns because there may be other treatments out there now that weren't available when it happened to me or to my daughter. Good luck to you and please find out all that you can before the major worry sets in!

How long does it take for endometriosis to come back?
Q. I was on the pill for three months to suppress by endometriosis. I went off the pill for approximately 4 months. Could the endo come back and cause infertility in only four cylces?
A. Everyone is different. The pill does not get rid of endometriosis, if you're lucky it can suppress it. The most effective suppressive therapy with pills is where you take your pill everyday and don't take the sugar pills for seven days you just move on to another pack. Every three months or so you stop for seven days so you can have a period. The less periods you have the less chance you have of having endometriosis be severe(theoretically) But again, everyone is different. Some people like myself have it very mild and I've only had to have one surgery. However, it took me quite awhile to get pregnant with my son. My friend on the other hand is only 34 and has had two surgeries and after the last one her doctor told her he'd give her six months to get pregnant and if it didn't happen she needed to go ahead and have a hysterectomy. Luckily she got pregnant and hopefully will have a full-term healthy pregnancy. I also have another friend who's had three surgeries and was unable to get pregnant without having a surgery to "clean out" all the scar tissue and even then she had a couple of miscarriages and has only been able to have one child. Your doctor is really the person to ask. If your doctor doesn't think you need a laparoscopy then you are probably fine.

A. If your periods are now painful, perhaps you should look into endometriosis. Some women develop it after having children.
It's too late for you to still be bleeding from giving birth.
You should go to the doctor.
