We may soon have a pregnancy-like test for endometriosis
Nov 18, 2020
Source The Femedic Summary Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to that which lines the womb (endometrium) begins to grow outside the uterus. This can cause long-term severe pain in the abdomen, chronic fatigue, and infertility as well as a whole host of other symptoms. The researchers are hoping to “develop an earlier diagnostic test for endo[metriosis] that is not invasive.” Dr Barbara Guinn, a reader in Biomedical Sciences and researcher, is also keen to replace the current method: “It can cause problems with more endometriosis forming, scar tissues forming, and the disease can come back.
“Like other diseases, if we had any early treatment, we’d probably get much better responses and then better outcomes.”People Barbara Guinn Org Units Centre for Biomedicine URL https://thefemedic.com/menstruation/test-for-endometriosis/
