Question 1

cramping and bleeding 4 days after biopsy and endocervical curettage?

Accepted Answer

Normal: The biopsy and  curettage bleeding may have been from the endocervical canal and biopsy site causing delayed bleeding.

Question 2

is getting a endocervical curettage same as pap ? what is difference?

Accepted Answer

: A pap smear of the cervix removes shedding or "dead" cells from the outside and opening of the cervix. An endocervical curettage uses a device to "scrape" live cells from the endocervical canal which is far more accurate.

Question 3

is this ok? endocervical curettage: inflamed mucus, blood, minute fragments of unremarkable endocervical glands, and fragments of inactive endometrium with evidence of stromal breakdown?

Accepted Answer

: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your results are not a cause for concern.    Wish you good health!

Question 4

what tool is used to perform a cervical biopsy, conization, and endocervical curettage?

Accepted Answer

Cx/bx,cone,endocuret: A cervical biopsy is done with punch forceps, conization with hot cautery or a # 11 scalpel, an endocervial curettage with a small curette scraping device.  All are associated with cervical cell abnormalities or endocervical disease which may be pre-malignant.  Results of these will suggest if further treatment is necessary.

Question 5

endocervical curettage is a procedure in which the mucous membrane of the cervical canal is scraped using a spoon-shaped instrument the procedure is used to test for abnormal, precancerous conditions, or cervical cancer . why pap then? difference?

Accepted Answer

: Duplicate question. See previous reply.

Question 6

can you explain what it means? diagnosis: a) endocervix, curettage: benign endocervical glands and cervical mucus b) cervix, 1 o'clock, biopsy: predominantly endocervical tissue with inflammation and squamous metaplasia?

Accepted Answer

: The wording notes there are things there that are normal and some signs of irritation. There is no suggestion of a cancer or pre-cancer.

Question 7

could you help me to understand my results , a endocervix (curettage): -fragments of benign endocervical tissue and squamous epithelium -negative for dysplasia b. cervix (biopsy): -high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (hsil)/cin 3?

Accepted Answer

: This means that your cervical biopsy showed a pre-invasive cancer. You will likely need followup such as a larger excision to make sure they go it all out. The first part was benign, which means that the  lesion did not extend to the  underlying endocervix that they sampled..

Question 8

final diagnosis a. endocervix (curettage): -fragments of benign endocervical tissue and squamous epithelium -negative for dysplasia b. cervix (biopsy): -high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (hsil)/cin 3 last year my pap was normal idk what i?

Accepted Answer

: PAP is a screening test and does have false negatives. It is imperative that you follow your doctor's instructions about follow-up tests.

Question 9

is anesthesia required for dilation and curettage?

Accepted Answer

Depends why: Often a d & c may be done under sedation with Propofol and other meds such as versed or fentanyl. The gyn doctor may use local anesthesia around the cervix. If it's an emergency situation where the patient doesn't have an empty stomach, if the patient is extremely obese, or if there is heavy bleeding, general anesthesia may be safest.  The ob/gyn and anes doctors will decide the best plan.

Question 10

dilation and curettage 2 time within 2 month and still bleeding?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: an endometrial ablation might be useful, or progesterone  medication treatment. In some cases bleeding that persists may need a hysterectomy, please discuss further options with your doctor.
