Hormonal treatment aims to stop ovulation and allow the endometrial deposits to regress and die. They either put the woman into a pseudo-pregnancy or pseudo-menopause.
Drugs used include:
Testosterone derivatives
Danazol
Gestrinone (Dimetriose)
Progestogens
Medroxyprogesterone (Provera)
Norethisterone (Primolut)
Dydrogesterone (Duphaston)
Combined Oral Contraceptive Pill
Mirena Coil
Depo-Provera
All the hormonal treatments have side effects. These vary from woman to woman.
All of the drugs above, except the oral contraceptive pill and the Mirena coil, have been shown in clinical trials to be equally effective as treatments for endometriosis.
With the exception of the Mirena Coil, Depo-Provera and the oral contraceptive pill, the drugs used to treat endometriosis are not contraceptives and barrier methods of contraception should be used during treatment.
pregnacy is also a salution...lol
Complementary Therapies
Options include acupuncture, aromatherapy, Chinese herbs, Western Herbs, homeopathy, nutrition, reflexology, naturopathy, Reiki and osteopathy.
There are no clinical trials based on the efficacy of complementary therapies as treatments for endometriosis. However, many women do have improvement of their symptoms whilst using such therapies. It is probably wise to seek help from a qualified practitioner and not self medicate.
Hysterectomy should only be considered by women who do not want to become pregnant in the future. During this surgery, the doctor removes the uterus. She or he may also take out the ovaries and fallopian tubes at the same time. This is done when the endometriosis has severely damaged them

It's not so much that the disease came back, but that it wasn't truly removed. Unless all Endometriosis is removed from all locations (including bowels, bladder, intestines, peritoneal sidewalls, etc. etc.), symptoms will recur. Check out the following sites for information about excision surgery by specialists who can remove all lesions from everywhere and who have practices dedicated to the disease:

Also check out the differences between excision and superficial removal in this CEC document, available online at http://www.hcgresources.com/excisionvsablation.pdf.

I would definately be back at the Dr office seeing what he/she advises. Don't wait until it comes back full strength!

If surgery doesn't work the only sure thing that will work is childbirth.
