What are Endometrial biopsies?

An endometrial biopsy involves obtaining a tissue sample from the lining of the uterus, which is then carefully examined under a microscope. This procedure is essential for detecting any cell abnormalities or signs of cancer, providing crucial information to guide accurate diagnosis and treatment.

What to Expect During the Procedure

A speculum is inserted into the vagina so to visualize the cervix. A speculum is the same instrument used to hold open the vagina during a Pap test. After your cervix is cleaned, a very thin, flexible tool will be inserted into the uterus to gently suction out a tissue sample from the lining (endometrium) of your uterus. This will then be sent to a lab so it can be looked at under a microscope and tested for abnormal cells like cancer. There is no blade or cutting.

Post-Procedure Information

Once the tissue samples have been collected, they will be sent to a laboratory for analysis. Here, pathologists will examine the tissue under a microscope to confirm the presence of endometrial tissue and determine its characteristics. This information is crucial in making an accurate diagnosis.
