Endometriosis takes nine years to diagnose. That’s about to change. NICE has approved two tests for the NHS in England and Wales: a saliva test reading microRNA markers, and a gut-sensor test returning results in 45 minutes, sparing women the keyhole surgery currently needed to confirm a disease affecting one in ten.

#ShareGoodNewsToo@adapalmer i would love for this to be good news but as someone who skipped the keyhole one and went directly to removal, this would have just been an extra potential excuse for insurance to cover it

Not just women? Are you talking about trans or men on treatment for prostate cancer? The latter has been known for decades but still rarely looked for.

@whangdoodler @adapalmer be that guy, because you're right to be that guy in this instance.
