Makes the biggest improvement of all treatments in my opinion and experience.
Not sure if it has worked. As still get pains from time to time.
Working / Worked
perfect patient. very few side affects.... hair loss (got it back), few foods bother me, and able to eat "like a normal person" just small portions.
Working / Worked
Had surgery to take care of endometriosis. I was misdiagnosed with PCOS. Scar tissue was my problem. I had irregular and painful periods.
Working / Worked
Painful after surgery, but they give you up to a week to get back up and moving. They recommended that the more you feel your up to-DO IT- DON'T BE LAZY.
Working / Worked
I had this surgery on both knees at separate times, to repair injury to them from blunt trauma (car door hit my knees). The surgery procedure went well both times. Very important to follow up on post-surgery therapy tho, which I didn't on one, causing permanent damage
Working / Worked
I had class 3 endometriosis. I truly believe if I hadn't had the surgery, I wouldn't have become pregnant with my second daughter so quickly.
