Ziwig Endotest: The Revolutionary Saliva Test for Endometriosis

For decades, diagnosing endometriosis has been a long, painful, and frustrating journey. On average, women wait 7 to 10 years and undergo multiple invasive procedures—including laparoscopic surgery—just to get an answer for their chronic pelvic pain.

The Ziwig Endotest changes everything.

As a groundbreaking, non-invasive diagnostic tool, the Ziwig Endotest uses a simple saliva sample to detect endometriosis with remarkable accuracy. Here is everything you need to know about how this revolutionary test works and what it means for your health.

What is the Ziwig Endotest?

The Ziwig Endotest is the world’s first non-invasive diagnostic test for endometriosis. Developed in France by Ziwig in collaboration with leading medical experts and AI engineers, it identifies the presence of all forms of endometriosis—from superficial lesions to deep infiltrating endometriosis and ovarian endometriomas.

Instead of requiring surgery or uncomfortable internal exams to confirm a diagnosis, the Endotest requires only a small sample of your saliva.

How Does the Saliva Test Work?

The test relies on cutting-edge biotechnology, combining microRNA (miRNA) sequencing with Artificial Intelligence (AI).

  1. The Sample: You provide a simple saliva sample in a specialized tube.

  2. MicroRNA Analysis: Endometriosis alters the expression of certain biomarkers in the body called microRNAs. These tiny RNA molecules regulate gene expression and can be found circulating in human saliva.

  3. AI Processing: The laboratory sequences your saliva sample to identify a specific "signature" of 109 microRNAs associated with endometriosis. An advanced AI algorithm analyzes this complex data.

  4. The Result: The test provides a clear "Positive" or "Negative" result for the presence of endometriosis.

Key Benefits of the Ziwig Endotest

  • 100% Non-Invasive: No needles, no anesthesia, and no surgery required. It is a simple spit test.

  • Highly Accurate: Clinical trials have demonstrated that the Ziwig Endotest has a diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of over 95%. It is highly reliable at detecting even early or microscopic stages of the disease.

  • Faster Diagnosis: What used to take nearly a decade can now be confirmed in a matter of weeks, allowing you to start targeted treatment and pain management much sooner.

  • Detects All Forms: Ultrasound and MRI often miss superficial endometriosis. The Endotest detects all subtypes and stages of the disease.

Who Should Take This Test?

The Ziwig Endotest is designed for women and individuals assigned female at birth (aged 18 to 43) who are experiencing symptoms suggestive of endometriosis. You should consider this test if you suffer from:

  • Severe, debilitating menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea)

  • Chronic pelvic pain outside of your period

  • Pain during intercourse (dyspareunia)

  • Painful bowel movements or urination, especially during menstruation

  • Unexplained infertility

If your ultrasound or MRI results have come back "normal" but you are still experiencing severe symptoms, the Endotest can provide the definitive answers imaging often misses.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can the Ziwig Endotest replace laparoscopic surgery?

For diagnostic purposes, yes. Historically, laparoscopy (a surgical procedure) was the only way to definitively diagnose endometriosis. The Ziwig Endotest provides a reliable diagnosis without the risks, recovery time, and costs associated with surgery. However, surgery may still be required later as a treatment to remove lesions.

How long does it take to get results?

Once the laboratory receives your saliva sample, the complex sequencing and AI analysis typically take between 2 to 4 weeks.

Does hormonal birth control affect the test results?

No. Clinical studies indicate that the Ziwig Endotest remains highly accurate regardless of where you are in your menstrual cycle and whether or not you are currently taking hormonal contraceptives.
