My Dr. had ordered a biopsy because I was having post menopausal bleeding and cramping. Because I was already in pain I asked to have it done under local anethesia, I was referred to a Surgeon that agreed to do it. I had 4 previous ultrasounds that did not detect the large tumor that was in my cervix so I’m glad that I didn’t agree to having it done in a drs office with just a zanax for the pain. Everyone is different though and my circumstances were not common but as my Dr found out biopsy’s are not a one size fits all. You are the only one that knows how much pain you can tolerate., and I think alittle more consideration needs to be given to anyone that had to go through something like this . And perhaps given the choice to have something alittle stronger than a low dose pain reliever
