Question 1

will having an endometrial biopsy break my hymen?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: An endometrial biopsy requires placing a speculum in the vagina. For a virginal woman, it can sometimes be accomplished without disturbing an intact hymen with a very narrow speculum. Many women of the age that would necessitate a biopsy however do not have a narrow intact hymen even if they are virginal.

Question 2

i had an endometrial biopsy & a iud inserted. i'm a virgin so i'm positive my doc.broke my hymen. if i have sex will it hurt??will my hymen grow back?

Accepted Answer

It doesn't: The pain with first sex idea is overdone. If a woman has a healthy vulva and vagina; if she is very stretchy; if she is happy and relaxed, with lots of natural lubrication; if a guy enters at a good angle, at the right spot; if he moves with small motions until she is well-lubricated and stretched out; there may not be hymen tearing nor bleeding. Ignore the hymen, as it should be of no relevance.

Question 3

how long dies an endometrial biopsy hurt?

Accepted Answer

Cramps.: Some Motrin before the biopsy prevents the pain for the 6 hours that some people cramp.

Question 4

what can i do to help ease pain of an endometrial biopsy?

Accepted Answer

Endometrial biopsy: Usually some tylenol (acetaminophen) and an NSAID like Motrin should suffice.

Question 5

how much tissue is actually removed in an endometrial biopsy?

Accepted Answer

Not much but enough: Very little tissue is removed during an endometrial biopsy but multiple studies show that the amount is adequate to make an accurate diagnosis. The main purpose is to rule out cancer or premalignant lesions called endometrial hyperplasia.

Question 6

how long will i bleed for after an endometrial biopsy?

Accepted Answer

No bleeding: Endometrial biopsy can be performed not only for diagnostic evaluation of tissue, but as treatment to stop endometrial bleeding.  If you bleeding for few days, please see your doctor.

Question 7

why am i still bleeding days after  an endometrial biopsy?

Accepted Answer

ToBleedOrNotToBleed: Some light spotting for a few days is not unusual, but if it persists for over a week, especially if increasing in amount or accompanied by pain, foul odor or fever then you should see your doctor ASAP. Now, at your age, having the biopsy is a bit unusual so maybe the reason your doctor got the biopsy is the reason for the prolonged bleed(e.g.friable tissue)but in any case, your doctor should know

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Post biopsy bleeding: A short while, less than a week.

Question 9

do i panic had endometrial biopsy friday results not back yet?
