Anyone here with endometriosis? Can lifestyle changes help or is surgery needed?

Answering this for my sister, but yes, she had endometriosis surgery because the medications were not controlling her symptoms well enough. Her doctor also explained that endometriosis can sometimes affect nearby organs if it progresses, so surgery was recommended in her case. I think it really depends on the severity and each person's situation, so it's best to consult a gynaecologist to understand what treatment may be suitable for you. Hope this helps! 🤍

Hello! From what I know, it can be treated depending on your situation. In my case, I’m still managing it with medication and lifestyle changes with my gynaecology doctor in Singapore, Dr Wei-Wei Wee-Stekly. So far, it has been helping me manage and control it. I think it’s best to consult a doctor to know what treatment is suitable for you. 🤍

When my heating pad and anti-inflammatory diet stopped cutting it for the debilitating pelvic pain, I finally saw an endo specialist and realized surgery was the turning point I needed.
