New ‘game-changer’ tests for endometriosis given green light on NHS

Women with suspected endometriosis will no longer have to spend years trying to get a diagnosis thanks to new “game-changer” tests approved for use in the GP surgery.

In a bid to dramatically cut the time it takes for women to be told whether they have the condition, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) has given the green light to EndoSure and Endotest on the NHS.
