Qualification for the EndoRNA test

Qualification for the EndoRNA test

Did you know that according to WHO data, as many as 1 in 10 women of childbearing age may struggle with endometriosis?

The EndoRNA test is for women who have:

• pain that adversely affects every day functioning (e.g. pain during menstruation, intercourse, urination or defecation, pain in the sacral area),

• chronic nausea, constipation, diarrhoea,

• suspicion of endometriosis,

• a long-term problem with getting pregnant.

Untreated endometriosis can even lead to infertility. It is estimated that about 35% of patients who have problems getting pregnant have already been diagnosed with endometriosis, have suspected endometriosis or were diagnosed with this disease while looking for causes of infertility. That is why it is so important to diagnose the disease quickly, especially in women planning pregnancy.

Benefits of performing the EndoRNA test:

• potentially shortening the diagnostic process for infertility and pain,

• saves time - qualification with the possibility of performing the EndoRNA test during one visit (the test and procedure are additionally payable),

• safety and quick return to everyday activities - the EndoRNA test is minimally invasive,

• short waiting time for results (about 2-3 weeks),

• ability to discuss the results with the doctor during a telephone consultation.

Test results

The waiting time for results is about 2-3 weeks. Medicover will contact you to arrange a teleconsultation with a gynaecologist who will discuss the test results with the patient over the phone.

Due to non-specific symptoms and a number of basic tests, the process of endometriosis diagnosis is usually very long, lasting even several years.

It is possible to shorten the diagnostic path by performing a minimally invasive EndoRNA qRT-PCR test. Endometriosis is a disease in which the tissue lining the uterus (endometrium) appears in other parts of the body, such as:

• ovaries and fallopian tubes,
• uterine muscle,
• vagina,
• bladder and ureters,
• rectum,
• peritoneal or retroperitoneal space.

The EndoRNA test is a medical device. For safety, use it according to the instructions or label. If in doubt, consult a specialist. The manufacturer of the test is Medicover Genetics.
