Vitra Instruments Small Gynecological Biopsy Set by Vitra Instruments

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.
