My sister has endometriosis and medicines aren't helping much Pain comes back every month despite treatment. She is worried about surgery but also finding it difficult to manage daily life. At what point is surgery usually considered?

Surgery for endometriosis is typically considered when medications fail to provide adequate pain relief, symptoms significantly impact daily life, or there are structural complications like cysts or blocked fallopian tubes. Laparoscopic surgery is a common and minimally invasive option that can remove or destroy endometrial tissue, offering significant relief for many patients. It is understandable to feel anxious about surgery, but consulting a gynecologist can help weigh the risks and benefits based on her specific condition.
