UC doctor patenting first at-home endometriosis diagnostic test
March 31, 2025
March is endometriosis awareness month. Endometriosis is a condition that can be debilitating and is estimated to affect more than 6 million women in the U.S. Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus, causing pain, inflammation and potential infertility. The road to a diagnosis has been challenging for many women, but a University of Cincinnati researcher has developed a noninvasive diagnostic test that could make a difference.
