How to prevent fibrosis from recurring

Female, 28 years old, and I’ve had three laparoscopic excision surgeries now to remove endo in the last two years. Last surgery was in May and also included a presacral neurectomy. So far the pain relief has been significant and I’m almost back to my old life!

One thing that worries me is that at my last two surgeries, there was a significant amount of fibrosis on my previous sites of endo. It was most notably the rectovaginal area, left ovary, right uterosacral ligament, paracervical area, and bladder. At my third surgery, there was so much fibrosis on my left ovary that it adhered my ovary to my pelvic side wall.

Is there a way to prevent fibrosis from growing back? My doctor is wonderful (Dr. Ted Lee), and I’m simply amazed at my life post-surgery, but I’m honestly worried about how fibrosis even got that bad in my case.
