Can a simple test spot endometriosis sooner?
Soon it might: NICE, England's health assessor, has recommended two non-invasive tests, EndoSure and Endotest, for NHS use to diagnose endometriosis earlier, over a three-year evidence-gathering period. The condition affects roughly one in ten women, who often wait years for a diagnosis that currently requires keyhole surgery. NICE says the tests could give GPs better tools to catch it sooner.
