  • Earlier identification in general practice could improve patient outcomes and reduce the burden of undiagnosed cases on secondary care services
  • These tests represent a significant advance in streamlining endometriosis diagnosis, though further details on test specifics and implementation timelines would be needed for clinical integration planning
