Living with pain is not normal.
Thousands of women worldwide spend years visiting doctors, trying treatments, and undergoing tests without receiving a clear diagnosis for their pelvic symptoms. Endometriosis, a chronic disease that affects 1 in 10 women, often takes between 7 and 11 years to be diagnosed.
In the meantime, physical pain and emotional impact become part of daily life, affecting quality of life, mental health, and, in many cases, fertility.
But today, thanks to advances in science and technology, that journey can be much shorter.
Why it takes so long to diagnose endometriosis
The delay in diagnosis isn’t accidental:
- Symptoms are varied and are sometimes mistaken for other gynecological or digestive issues.
- 80% of patients have superficial endometriosis, which is very difficult to detect with imaging techniques, even in centers with the best specialists and technology.
- For years, the only way to diagnose the disease was through laparoscopic surgery, an invasive procedure.
- Many women hear phrases like “period pain is normal” or “it will pass,” delaying the search for solutions.
This delay can have serious consequences: chronic pain that becomes increasingly difficult to manage, persistent inflammation, risk of infertility, and a profound impact on work, social life, and personal well-being.
A new approach: early diagnosis is possible
In recent years, innovative tools have emerged that allow for a faster, non-invasive, and reliable diagnosis.
Among them, saliva analysis based on microRNAs stands out, such as Ziwig Endotest®, a pioneering technology that analyzes small fragments of genetic material present in saliva to identify the molecular signature of endometriosis.
- Detecting the disease early can:
- Restore quality of life and emotional well-being.
- Improve the effectiveness of medical and surgical treatments.
- Reduce pain and inflammation before they become chronic.
- Provide better options for preserving fertility.
Conclusion: Don’t normalize the pain.
