Source: GPs to offer two new tests to help spot endometriosis – BBC News
People who think they may have endometriosis – a painful condition affecting one in 10 women – will soon be able to ask their GP for a couple of non-invasive tests for quicker diagnosis.
Experts hope they will be a game-changer and cut the nine-year or longer waits patients can currently face.
One is a spit test that looks for genetic material. The other measures electrical signals in the gut using sensor pads on the abdomen.
