What is it about?
Millions of women suffer from a condition called as Endometriosis ( Growth of endometrium like tissue outside normal uterine cavity). Majority of the women suffering from condition experience pain during menstruation, pain during sexual intercourse and are sub-fertile. The gold standard of diagnosis of this enigmatic disorder is surgery (Laparoscopy/Laparotomy). We conducted a multi centre study in India and validated the non invasive method to diagnosis endometriosis in early stages.
