Endometrial Biopsy: I’m terrified, what can I expect?
Gynecologic Cancers | Last Active: 11 hours ago | Replies (60)Comment receiving replies
Hi,
I will be undergoing an endometrial biopsy next Monday. I am so nervous about the procedure and of course the results! My ob/gyn did say that he would freeze my cervix with an injection that should help some. He also suggested pain killers. Wondering what everyone else took? And how long it took for biopsy results to come back?
Thanks!

Hi Lucky,
I wish you all the best on Monday. I was supposed to have one in office, but my doctor couldn't complete it due to the opening of my cervix being to narrow. But I did get the freezing and was being prepared for it. None of it hurt. Even the freezing didn't hurt but it wasn't completed. I took advil when I woke up that morning ( my appt. was in the afternoon ) and then again, (4 hours later) one hour before my appt. I was super scared, did a lot of deep breathing, but it wasn't able to be completed. I see a gynecologist next week. Good luck. I told my doctor how scared I was and he was super gentle. Sending you all sorts of good thoughts.

Hi- I took 2 200mg ibuprofen (Advil) 1 hour before the appointment for the biopsy. The results came back in about 6 days. I did not have an injection. The procedure was not very painful it was more pinching. Good Luck!
