NaPro Surgery
One thing I appreciate about NaPro Technology is that the surgical techniques are geared toward preventing adhesions from returning. I don't fully understand how this works, but I do get the idea that NaPro surgeons are focused on this aspect of treatment as opposed to general endometriosis excisions which simply aim to remove the lesions. I'd love to research this further, from an actual source, not by second-hand internet sources. But until then, I thought I'd share a graph I came across on the naprotechnology.com website:

Hormone Treatment, Conventional vs. NaPro
When I first began to seek help in determining the reason for our infertility, I found an ob-gyn that I really liked. I had some tests done, the basic preliminary tests that check the levels of hormones on a specific day of your cycle. What this conventional approach failed to address was the fact that my cycle is irregular. A conventional approach tests the levels of estrogen and progesterone on day 21 of a woman's cycle, assuming ovulation occurred on day 14. When my hormones were checked, the tests showed my levels were within the normal range, so the doctor then referred me to a fertility specialist for further testing.
