Non-invasive testing to support endometriosis assessment
What is Endosure?
EndoSure is a non-invasive test designed to assess whether a patient may be at risk of endometriosis.
It provides a safe and painless way to support early detection.
The EndoSure Test was introduced in 2023 and is grounded in scientific research examining how endometrial tissue can affect gastrointestinal electrical activity.
This test measures patterns of myoelectrical activity that may be linked to endometriosis and is designed to complement a clinician’s assessment, alongside your symptoms, medical history, and other investigations.

How does EndoSure work?
The EndoSure Test assesses electrical activity within the abdominal region.
In a similar way to how an ECG records electrical signals from the heart, EndoSure records myoelectrical activity from the gastrointestinal tract. Certain activity patterns may be associated with the presence of endometriosis-related tissue.
The results are interpreted alongside symptoms, medical history, and clinical assessment.
What to Expect During Your Test
- Small sensors are gently placed on your abdomen.
- A comfortable respiratory belt is applied.
- You’ll be asked to drink a glass of water.
- Your myoelectrical activity is recorded for about 30 minutes.
The test is completely painless and requires no recovery time, so you can continue your day as usual.
How long will the test take?
Your full appointment usually takes about 60 minutes, giving us plenty of time to ensure you’re comfortable throughout.
When will I get my results?
Your test result can be provided to you on the day of your appointment.
You will receive a clinical report completed by our Consultant Gynecologist who specialises in endometriosis within 48 hours of your appointment.
