Endometrial Biopsy

An endometrial biopsy is an office procedure that involves the removal of a small amount of tissue from the uterine cavity.

A pathologist will then examine the biopsy.  Any woman who has a history of abnormal bleeding, irregular or absence of  menstrual periods, or a history of a biopsy confirming an infection may benefit from the performance of an endometrial biopsy. The endometrial biopsy is not a routine test and is done in selected cases.
