A member asked:
Endometrial biopsy done because uterine lining 9mm thick. benign, but dr only able to get scant tissue sample. why would that happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aspiration device: If your MD used a aspiration endometrial biopsy device then a small sampling was all that was needed to give a benign "diagnosis." The "olden days" in office scraping is usually no longer done unless it was a D & C in a surgical environment.
