What is an endometrial biopsy
The endometrium is the layer lining the uterine cavity. It plays a key role in the menstrual cycle and embryo implantation. During the biopsy, a thin tube is passed through the cervical canal and a tissue sample is collected by suction, then sent for histological analysis.
The procedure takes a few minutes, usually requires no anesthesia and is done on an outpatient basis in the gynecologist’s office — with no long recovery. The best time is days 7–10 of the menstrual cycle.
When an endometrial biopsy is recommended
- Abnormal bleeding — a symptom of various gynecological conditions
- Infertility diagnostics — assessing the endometrium and causes of failed implantation
- Endometrial hyperplasia and abnormal lining growth
- Suspected endometrial cancer and other malignancies
- Endometriosis
- Submucosal fibroids
The biopsy is ordered by a gynecologist at a consultation — after an exam and a gynecological ultrasound.
Types of endometrial biopsy
The doctor chooses the method based on the indications and the patient’s situation:
How an endometrial biopsy works
The procedure takes a few minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis, only after a gynecologist consultation and a gynecological ultrasound:
After the procedure: recommendations
- A few hours of observation; then you can return to your usual activities
- Light bleeding or spotting for a few days and lower abdominal cramps are normal
- Avoid sexual intercourse until the end of the menstrual cycle
- For 10–14 days — no tampons or vaginal douching
- If prescribed, take antibiotics to lower the infection risk
- Severe pain or heavy bleeding — see a doctor immediately; most complications appear within the first 12 hours
Endometrial biopsy and infertility
“The biopsy helps detect endometrial pathologies that interfere with embryo implantation.”
Endometrial inflammation and infections are among the common hidden causes of infertility and failed implantation attempts. The biopsy detects them so they can be treated in time, and also assesses abnormal cycle patterns and lining growth.
For this reason the test is often ordered during infertility diagnostics and as part of IVF preparation: treating the detected endometrial pathologies can increase the chance of successful embryo implantation.
Bottom line: an endometrial biopsy is a quick, minimally invasive and informative way to understand the cause of abnormal bleeding or conception problems and choose the right treatment.
Possible complications
The procedure is generally safe; most complications appear within the first 12 hours:
- Common and harmless: light bleeding or spotting for a few days
- Common and harmless: lower abdominal cramps
- Rare: infection — may require a course of antibiotics
- Very rare: uterine perforation — requires urgent medical care
