Other conditions such as uterine fibroids and adenomyosis can cause symptoms similar to endometriosis.
TREATMENT
Although surgery does not cure endometriosis, it does offer short term results for most women and long-term relief for a few. Surgery may be recommended when treatment with hormone therapy has not controlled symptoms, and symptoms interfere with daily living and also when endometrial implants or scar tissue interferes with the functions of other organs in the belly. the most common surgery is called laparoscopy..
