I have had four surgeries for endometriosis and this is a frustrating condition. It is so difficult to know if each is causing more or less scar tissue. My past two surgeries (the final including a fairly aggressive peritonectomy on pelvic organs) have resulted in only a very moderate reduction of pain.
I hope the medical community continues to explore this disease. There seems to be widespread lack of research and understanding about it, and I was disappointed to have that observation confirmed by the great doctors at Mayo Clinic.
