Two tests GPs can soon offer to help spot endometriosis

Reported byBBC Health ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

Two new non-invasive tests — a saliva test (Endotest) and a gut electrical signal test (Endosure) — are being recommended under new NHS draft guidance in England and Wales to dramatically reduce the nine-year-plus diagnostic delays currently faced by endometriosis patients.

Worth noting

Tests are being recommended for NHS use but must be overseen by specialists; not all GPs will have access immediately.
