Endometriosis takes an average of 7–10 years to diagnose. This checker turns what you already know about your own body into an evidence-based estimate you can bring to an appointment. It takes about three minutes.
Private — everything is calculated on your device. Nothing is sent, saved or tracked.Your symptoms
Move each slider to match how bad it usually gets. Leave it at zero if it doesn't apply to you. There are no wrong answers — an honest 4 is more useful than a cautious 8.
Do your symptoms follow your cycle?
This is the most important question here. Pain that reliably tracks your period points to endometriosis far more strongly than the same pain occurring at random.
Your history
Tick everything that is true. Skip anything you're unsure about — leaving it unticked is treated as "unknown", not as "no".
Less common, but important
These are uncommon — most people tick none. But each one is highly specific to endometriosis, so if any apply they matter a great deal.
Test results — optional
Only if you happen to have them. Skip this whole section otherwise — the checker works fine without it.
Estrogen (estradiol) and your cycle optional
Pregnancy raises estradiol enormously, so if you answer Yes or Not sure we leave estradiol out of the calculation entirely.
Estradiol is only meaningful relative to where you are in your cycle.
CA-125 and HE4 optional
Often raised in endometriosis, but also in fibroids, infection, pregnancy and ovarian conditions — it is supportive, never diagnostic.
HE4 does not raise the endometriosis estimate — it barely differs between endometriosis and healthy controls. We use it only as a safety check.
Your age optional — used for context only
Age does not change the probability. It only tells us which stage of endometriosis is most commonly found at surgery in your age group.
If you have severe sudden pelvic pain, heavy bleeding, fainting, fever, or pain with vomiting, seek urgent medical care now — do not wait for an appointment.
