I'm 35 with a 5-year-old kid and have been dealing with severe stomach pain during my periods. Multiple doctors diagnosed me with endometriosis it was 8.3 mm in the last scan and now 8 mm. They recommended surgery, but I'm hoping to treat it with medicine. Right now, I'm taking Dinogest 2mg daily. Can endometriosis this size be cured with meds, and how long might it take to see improvement?

Severe stomach pain during periods, especially if linked to a diagnosis of endometriosis, suggests the need for a comprehensive approach to pain management and potentially further investigation into the condition. While a slight decrease in the lesion size (8.3mm to 8mm) might be considered a minor change, it's not necessarily indicative of a positive or negative trend and warrants further evaluation.

My mother is 45 and has been dealing with gynecological issues for the past three years. She had uterus surgery back in 2015 and has been consulting Dr. Shipra Rani and Dr. Hemlata, who are known as the best gynecologists in Singrauli, Madhya Pradesh. But now they're saying she needs to see a higher specialist outside our area. I'm really worried what could be the issue that they haven't been able to diagnose? Where should we go for better help, and are there any precautions we should take in the meantime?

Patient is advised for surgeon opinion for further management.
