A member asked:
Hello doctor do i need to have a general anesthesia for a endometrial biopsy ( thickening of uterus linning) or can i have a local anesthesia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Endometrial Biopsy: General anesthesia isn't required for this. There are local anesthetic procedures but the biopsy can also be done without any anesthesia. See: https://www.medicinenet.com/endometrial_biopsy/article.htm#what_are_the_risks_of_endometrial_biopsy
