ENDOSURE

Frequently Asked Questions About EndoSure

How does the 30 minute endometriosis test work?

For many women, getting answers about pelvic pain has historically meant preparing for an invasive surgical procedure. EndoSure is a breakthrough non invasive endometriosis test that changes this process completely. Using a technology called electroviscerography, the test records the myoelectrical activity of your gastrointestinal (GI) tract through sensors placed on your abdomen. In a single, comfortable 30-minute office visit, we can identify the specific neuromuscular patterns associated with endometriosis, with no downtime required.

Why does my stomach hurt during my period?

Many patients arrive at our clinic deeply frustrated, having been told that their chronic digestive pain is simply irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or "normal" menstrual cramping. Because endometriosis frequently impacts the bowel and surrounding digestive organs, it can cause severe gastrointestinal distress. The EndoSure test is uniquely capable of mapping GI tract activity, allowing us to detect whether your digestive symptoms are actually being driven by underlying endometriosis.

What is the average wait time for endometriosis diagnosis in Canada?

Traditionally, the average wait time from the onset of symptoms to an official surgical diagnosis of endometriosis is between 5 to 8 years. We believe you should not have to wait a decade in pain to understand your own body. By utilizing advanced diagnostics like EndoSure, we can dramatically bypass these delays, providing you with a clear clinical picture and a tailored treatment plan in a matter of days or weeks, rather than years.

Where can I get the EndoSure test in Canada?

Because electroviscerography for endometriosis is a highly specialized diagnostic advancement, it is only available at select specialized centers. You can access the EndoSure test in Canada right here at The Links Clinic in Edmonton. We are dedicated to providing cutting-edge, non-surgical diagnostic options to women across Alberta who are seeking definitive answers for their pelvic pain.
