Improving Endometriosis Diagnosis and Awareness: Latest Developments.
TL;DR
Researchers at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research have been working for six years to find a way to diagnose endometriosis that does not require surgery. They believe they have found the answer in menstrual blood. By collecting just a small amount of menstrual blood on a sponge and then analyzing it, they have been able to document differences in the menstrual blood of people with endometriosis. Late last year, they began a new clinical trial focused on people who are preparing to undergo laparoscopic surgery. The goal of the trial is to see if menstrual blood analysis can be used as a way to screen people for endometriosis.
