Re: Is Laparoscopy the only reliable way to confirm Endometriosis?

Mine was found by ultra sound, but it was only thickening of the lining. They wanted to do a follow up with a gyno, what meant a D&C and testing some tissue. I had the D&C with novacaine in the doctor's office. No way I was going to a hospital and being knocked out.
The gyno still wanted to do more testing but I did not do it. Now I just do an US with my regular MD. I understand that an US is not as detailed.
There are supplements you can use for female problems Owen told me to use 1 tsp a day of turmeric and build up vitain C to 7-10mg. I did this and it stopped the growing, but of course it says always might be pre-cancerous. My MD said he feels it is mainly because I used hormone replacement, so he does not seem to be worried.
In case you don't know who Owen is you can look at this link http://owen.curezone.com
