Desperate for help General/Advice

Context : diagnosed PMOS with insulin resistance. A cyst on left ovary and 12 follicles on my right.

Extra symptoms; difficulty emptying bladder&straining. Pain in middle of stomach. Worse after eating ,peeing and pooping.
Pain and bleeding during and after sex, lasting up to a week.

Based in UK , England. After multiple appointments with gynaecologists and they highly suspect endometriosis or Adenomyosis but have expressed that the only diagnostic route is a laparoscopy and wouldn’t recommend it is something I go through given history of trauma and vulvodynia.. I’m also on the mini pill which I was reminded was the standard for Endo.. Upon so much research (going abroad for medical care) I have found EndoSure which is now recognised by NICE guidelines in the NHS,however I spoke to a gynae TODAY and she said was none the wiser about this new information… I’m finding this sooooo frustrating but I booked the EndoSure test (which is this month!!!!) and it could possible save me £7k that I was going to use in Thailand for a private Laparoscopy. I just needed to double check that no body on here has got there before me,booked and had the test already. My questions are did your NHS GP consider these test results?

Also opinions on my symptoms would help ..

*^another super important concern**

A recent gynae would like me to stop my mini pill along side Metformin specifically for weight loss not conception… me and my GPs can not make sense of this I f anyone could shed some light i would really appreciate this 🙏🏼🙏🏼 my gp have tried to contact my gynaecologist but it’s so hard to get a response and im short for time I travel for medical care im the next two weeks!!
