Hi, Thanks for asking HCM.
Wish you had details of other investigations as well, then it would have been easier to answer.
There must be some findings indicative of abdominal kochs that is why doctors have advised laparoscopy to make sure before starting medication.
It seems Until they are very sure they will not start any medication as it has a long course and it is harsh on patients to put them through all those medication without confirming diagnosis.
Also they may be planning for biopsy at the same time to confirm the diagnosis.
Be assured they are doing their best.
Good luck.
