Endometriosis?

my gyno recently said i might have endometriosis and i was wondering if anyone had any... i don’t know, advice?

surgery seems really extreme, especially when it’s unconfirmed. i have pretty intense periods that knock me out physically, mentally, and emotionally but i’m not sure if i’m ready to risk infertility. i’m only 18, you know? how can i make that decision?

so does anyone have any tips for pain management? or any experience they’d be willing to share about surgery and how it’s affected them?
