Understanding Endometrial Biopsy

An endometrial biopsy involves taking a small sample of tissue from the lining of the uterus (the endometrium). This sample is then examined under a microscope to check for any abnormal cells or changes.

Why It’s Done

• Investigating Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: For women experiencing unusual bleeding patterns, including heavy or irregular periods, a biopsy can help identify underlying causes.
• Evaluating Post-Menopausal Bleeding: Any bleeding after menopause warrants careful examination to rule out significant conditions.
• Assessing Hormonal Therapy Effects: If you’re undergoing hormonal treatments, a biopsy can assess how your endometrium is responding.
• Ruling Out Endometrial Hyperplasia or Cancer: An endometrial biopsy is a key diagnostic tool for detecting or excluding potentially serious conditions.

The Procedure: What to Expect

1. Preparation: You’ll be advised if there are any specific steps to take beforehand, such as avoiding certain medications or scheduling the biopsy during a particular phase of your cycle.
2. During the Biopsy:
• A speculum is gently inserted into the vagina, similar to a smear test.
• A thin tube or pipelle is passed through the cervix to collect a small sample of the uterine lining.
• The procedure typically lasts a few minutes and may cause mild discomfort or cramping.
3. After the Biopsy: Most patients can resume normal activities straight away. You may experience slight cramping or light spotting for a short time. If needed, over-the-counter pain relief can help ease any discomfort.

Results and Follow-Up

Once the sample is sent to the laboratory, results are usually available within a short period. If any irregularities are detected, your gynaecologist will discuss next steps, which may include further tests or a tailored treatment plan.
