Ziwig Endotest^®

Diagnose endometriosis early and reliably with a simple saliva test

The majority of women with endometriosis experience many years of pain before getting a diagnosis. For some, getting to that stage may even require surgery.

But now a new innovation, the first of its kind in the world, can help patients avoid this suffering. A team of endometriosis doctors, artificial intelligence experts, molecular biologists and laboratory doctors have joined forces to develop a diagnostic test based on the sequencing of microRNAs found in saliva.

This non-invasive saliva test, known as Ziwig Endotest^®, was validated in the largest clinical trial ever carried out in this field4. It facilitates the early diagnostics of all forms of endometriosis^4-8 with almost 100% accuracy^{1, 6}.

The distribution of Ziwig Endotest^® by labor team enables doctors to diagnose and treat endometriosis at an early stage.

Endometriosis: pain and infertility

Endometriosis occurs when areas of endometrium-like tissue (the mucous membrane that covers the inside of the uterus) are found in various organs outside of the uterine cavity, such as the ovaries, vagina, rectum, bladder, bowel. During menstruation, these areas of tissue react to hormonal changes and cause inflammation, which in turn leads to significant pain and a variety of other symptoms.

The illness can also be completely asymptomatic. In this case, it is most often diagnosed by chance when the woman visits a doctor due to struggling to conceive. A large proportion of endometriosis patients suffer from infertility.
