Stage 4 Endometriosis, Laproscopic Surgeries Done. Birth Control Pills Could Not Stop Periods. Treatment Options Other Than Hysterectomy?

My 23 year old daughter has stage 4 endometriosis and has had 3 laproscopic excisional surgeries; she has tried numerous birth control pills, depo provera, lupron, Mirena IUD and nothing has worked for long to stop her periods. She has a very severe case of endometriosis and needs a hysterectomy to help her get her life back. But no one will help her because of her age. She has been homebound for 9 years since she was 14 and has no friends, no life. She is losing all hope and I'm afraid that she can't go on like this much longer. But no one will help her because she might want a child some day. She doesn't want a child, she wants a life. Can anyone help us? Please!

It might be difficult to use other treatment options, considering the fact that the recommended treatment options have failed. I suggest you consult another experienced gynecologist fo4r his opinion, But from experience, I do think a hysterectomy is an excellent option. Thanks and kind regards as I hope this helps.
