About this episode
Huge news for anyone with painful periods who's ever thought "I wonder if I have endometriosis??" - now you can either spit in a tube, or stick some electrode pads on your belly, and know within a few minutes or days, with a high degree of certainty, if you do in fact have endometriosis!!
If you live in the UK, Canada, or some countries in Europe, that is. Not in the US...yet.
So what are these tests? How accurate are they? When will we get them in the US? Dr. Gail Busby, a UK gynecologist who advocated for these tests to be available through the NHS, tells us all about it.
