Summary
This study aims to find markers in menstrual blood that can diagnose endometriosis, a painful condition affecting many women. Researchers will compare menstrual blood from 250 women with and without endometriosis, and also look at changes after surgery. If successful, this could lead to a simple, non-invasive test using a menstrual cup.
