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.
