Womb biopsy: I assume you mean an endometrial biopsy. The answer is Yes this can be done without general anesthesia. Your GYN may provide some local anesthesia.

Is there any way to get through a endometrial biopsy in a less painful way? Cervical polyp removal was excruciating pain as it was and Ive heard this biopsy is ten times worse. Im really surprised they dont use any kind of anesthesia for this?
