Private Endometriosis Saliva Test

Home > Private Gynaecology Clinic > Private Endometriosis Saliva Test

A Faster, Non-Invasive Way to Get Answers. No Referral Needed.

Living with persistent pelvic pain, heavy periods, painful sex, or unexplained fatigue can take a huge toll on your daily life, relationships and wellbeing. Many women describe feeling dismissed or unheard when seeking help, and unfortunately, in the UK, those with suspected endometriosis often wait years before receiving a diagnosis.

We believe you should not have to wait. Our Private Endometriosis Saliva Test (Ziwig Endotest®) provides a fast, accurate and completely non-invasive way to assess whether endometriosis is likely,  without referrals, waiting lists or invasive procedures. You will be supported throughout by specialist Consultant Gynaecologists who listen, understand and guide you with clarity and compassion.

How We Can Help

We are proud to offer the Ziwig Endotest®, one of the most advanced non-invasive diagnostic tools for endometriosis.

The test analyses microRNAs in a simple saliva sample using highly sophisticated sequencing and artificial intelligence. This enables earlier, more accurate detection of endometriosis patterns without requiring any internal examination.

Benefits include:

  • A completely non-invasive and painless saliva sample : no hospital visits, surgery or pain 
  • High accuracy, highly reliable, often exceeding surgical diagnosis
  • Early detection for mild to moderate endometriosis
  • Fast access with no GP referral needed with fast results, reducing diagnostic delay
  • Significantly quicker answers compared to traditional pathways
  • Specialist-led explanation of results and next steps
  • An empowering, patient-centred approach to your care

What is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the womb lining grows outside the uterus, often affecting the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bowel or bladder. It affects around 1 in 10 women of reproductive age and can significantly impact both physical and emotional well-being.

Common symptoms include:

  • Chronic pelvic or abdominal pain
  • Heavy or painful periods
  • Pain during or after sex
  • Pain on opening the bowels or passing urine
  • Bloating or digestive changes
  • Fatigue
  • Difficulty conceiving

Diagnosis is often delayed because symptoms overlap with other conditions. However, early recognition is a must. We aim to shorten this journey and provide clarity sooner.

Do I Need an Appointment?

Yes,  the saliva test is carried out during a dedicated private appointment to ensure the highest-quality sample collection and appropriate clinical support.

Who Can We Help

This service is ideal for:

  • Women and people assigned female at birth aged 18-43
  • Those who are sexually active and experiencing concerning symptoms
  • Individuals seeking a fast, non-invasive diagnostic option
  • Patients who have felt dismissed or unsupported elsewhere
  • Anyone planning a pregnancy who wants clarity on potential endometriosis
  • Women with unclear or inconclusive previous tests

You do not need a GP referral to book.

Treatments and Our Approach

Our care extends beyond the test itself. Once your results are available, you will have a dedicated consultation to explore:

  • What does your result mean
  • How your symptoms relate to the findings
  • Fertility plans and future considerations
  • Medication, hormonal options and lifestyle strategies
  • Whether imaging or surgical referral is appropriate
  • A clear, personalised treatment plan

We offer expert, compassionate guidance at every stage.

FAQ

No, the Ziwig Endotest® uses only a saliva sample,  no needles, no internal examinations and no discomfort. It offers a much gentler alternative to traditional diagnostic pathways.

The test has shown very high sensitivity and specificity in clinical research. Your consultant will interpret your result alongside your symptoms and history to provide a clear, personalised explanation.

Most results return within days to a few weeks. We will keep you informed throughout and arrange your follow-up consultation as soon as your result is available.

Preparation is minimal. You may be asked to avoid food, drink or chewing gum shortly before the test to ensure the best quality sample. Your clinician will provide clear instructions ahead of your appointment.

It is ideal for women and people assigned female at birth aged 18-43 experiencing symptoms such as pelvic pain, painful periods, pain during sex or fertility difficulties. If you’re unsure, we will guide you during your consultation.

A positive result suggests an endometriosis-associated microRNA pattern. Your consultant will discuss treatment options, further investigations and referral pathways if needed,  all tailored to your symptoms and goals.

A negative result does not invalidate your symptoms. We will explore other causes, consider additional tests and provide a plan to help manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life.

No, the test identifies the likelihood of endometriosis but does not provide staging. Many women can be effectively managed without surgery, and your consultant will guide you on whether any further investigation is needed.

Yes, the test can help identify whether endometriosis may be affecting fertility, allowing earlier intervention and a clearer reproductive plan.

It's not for pregnant women or those with HIV.

Some insurers may cover consultations, but the test is typically self-funded. We recommend checking with your provider directly.

No,  this service is completely self-referral. You can book directly with us.
