S.S.
I was only "cured" of endometriosis after a hysterectomy. By that time it had spread to one of my ovaries, so my uterus and affected ovary were removed. It changed my life - I was pain-free, didn't have horrible menstrual periods, etc. Friends who had it had worse situations - they left it too long and it spread to other organs like the bowels, and this creates all kinds of difficulties. As others have advised, consult your doctor, get a second and third opinion if necessary.
