ENDOMETRIAL BIOPSY

An endometrial biopsy is performed to obtain a small tissue sample from the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium.

After the biopsy, the endometrial tissue is examined under a microscope to identify the presence of abnormal cells or the effects of hormones on the endometrium.

The purposes of an endometrial biopsy may include:

  • Examining cells for the presence of cancer after an abnormal cervical cancer screening (Pap exam)
  • Identifying the cause of heavy uterine bleeding, especially in postmenopausal women; after the cause of the bleeding is identified, treatments such as Mirena, oral contraceptives, or NovaSure may be prescribed
  • For patients who have experienced difficulties becoming pregnant, evaluating whether the uterus is capable of supporting a pregnancy
  • Determining whether the endometrium is undergoing normal changes that are synchronized with the menstrual cycle
  • Checking for uterine infections such as endometriosis
  • Evaluating the effects of hormone replacement therapy
  • Detecting the presence of abnormal cells or cancer

Preparing for Endometrial Biopsy

  • Your healthcare provider will explain the procedure to you and offer you the opportunity to ask any questions that you might have about the procedure.
  • Generally, no prior preparation such as fasting or sedation is required. Your healthcare provider may recommend that you take a pain reliever 30 minutes before the procedure.
  • If you are pregnant or suspect that you are pregnant, you should notify your healthcare provider.
  • Notify your healthcare provider if you are sensitive to or are allergic to any medications, iodine, latex, tape, and anesthetic agents (local and general).
  • Notify your healthcare provider of all medications (prescription and over-the-counter) and herbal supplements that you are taking.
  • Notify your healthcare provider if you have a history of bleeding disorders or if you are taking any anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medications, aspirin, or other medications that affect blood clotting. It may be necessary for you to stop these medications prior to the procedure.
  • Your healthcare provider may request that you keep a record of your menstrual cycles. You may need to schedule the procedure for a specific time in your cycle.
  • If a sedative is given before the procedure, you will need someone to drive you home afterwards.
  • You may want to bring a sanitary napkin to wear home after the procedure.
  • Based upon your medical condition, your physician may request other specific preparations.
