Office biopsy: I will offer my patients an office endometrial biopsy he in this situation. It is quick and you get a quicker response from the pathologist. There can't be a pretty big cramp at that moment but it's over quickly. It is also cheaper, because you don't have to go to the hospital and pay all those extra bills.

Very quick procedure: Typically regional anesthesia is not given for a procedure that is very quick, in other words a few minutes. Also, it is a very short sleep, and most likely, an endotracheal tube (tube down your throat) is not necessary.
