Hi,
Thanks for the query.
You can choose laparascopy, if:
- You are having severe symptoms that endometriosis.
- Presence of chocolate cyst etc, that are not manageable with medical treatment.

-If laparoscopy is going to useful for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.

If not you can go for medical treatment.
But here the cost of the medicine and possible side effects to be kept in mind.
So, discuss these possibilities with your doctor and proceed according to her advice.
Take care.
