The treatment option that is best for you depends on several factors, including the severity of your symptoms and your plans for pregnancy. For example, if you have painful endometriosis and also are trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant, your doctor may recommend that you have conservative surgical treatment with laparoscopy. This option not only may improve your symptoms, but also increase the chances that you will conceive, since scar tissue that is "tethering" your tubes and pulling them out of alignment may be removed. On the other hand, if you want to postpone pregnancy, your doctor may suggest that you take oral contraceptives for a few months to see if this relieves your symptoms.
