During my laporoscopy on Tuesday they found a lot of scar tissue and 2 active lesions. I've been on birth control for 2 years so I'm not super surprised it's not super active at the moment.

My question is, did your surgeons remove or leave the scar tissue? Is it possible there is Endo inside or underneath that scar tissue? The scar tissue is pretty much everywhere, especially on the ligaments. Also, they are pretty positive it's scar tissue from endo, not another cause.

Should I be seeking a specialist to remove the scar tissue? My doctor suggested I get pregnant to help with the scar tissue.

I had my first laparoscopy this week. They found it!!! It wasn't as bad as they initially thought it would be, but it's still not great. They said I had two active lesions, one directly on my ureter. But then they also said I had a lot of scar tissue, pretty much everywhere.

They only removed one of the active lesions, and didn't touch anything else. Is that normal? I get why he didn't want to remove the one over the ureter, because that's not his specialty. But I would think they'd want to remove some of the scar tissue, right?

Is it worth getting a second opinion from a specialist?

Also, they recommended that I should get pregnant in the next year and that would be like a hard reset. How is that supposed to help the scar tissue? Does it just help break it up?
