Nature and Purpose of the Procedure

An endometrial biopsy is an in-office procedure to collect a small sample of the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium. The sample is examined under a microscope to look for abnormal cells, hormone imbalances, or signs of uterine cancer. During the procedure, you will lie on an exam table with your feet in stirrups, similar to a pelvic exam. The doctor inserts a speculum into the vagina to see the cervix. The cervix is cleaned, and a thin, flexible plastic suction tube called a pipelle is gently guided through the cervical opening into the uterus. The doctor moves the pipelle back and forth for 10 to 15 seconds to collect tissue. You will likely feel moderate to strong menstrual-like cramping during this tissue collection. The tube is then removed, and the cramping typically subsides quickly. The entire procedure takes only a few minutes.

Material Risks and Potential Complications

Uterine cramping: Strong menstrual-like cramping is expected during the procedure and may continue for a few hours. This is standard and can be managed with common over-the-counter pain relievers.

Vaginal bleeding: Spotting or light bleeding is normal for 2 to 5 days after the biopsy. Heavy bleeding (soaking through a sanitary pad in an hour) is rare and requires medical attention.

Fainting or dizziness: Some patients experience a temporary drop in blood pressure or heart rate during cervical stimulation, leading to dizziness or fainting (vasovagal reaction).

Uterine perforation: A very rare risk (less than 1 in 1,000 cases) where the plastic tube accidentally pokes a small hole in the wall of the uterus. This usually heals on its own but requires observation.

Uterine infection: A rare risk of bacteria entering the uterus, which can cause pelvic pain, fever, or unusual vaginal discharge, requiring antibiotic treatment.

Pregnancy contraindication: An endometrial biopsy cannot be performed if you are pregnant, as it can cause a miscarriage. A pregnancy test is routinely performed before the procedure.

Reasonable Alternatives to Endometrial Biopsy

Transvaginal ultrasound: A non-invasive imaging scan to measure the thickness of the uterine lining, though it cannot diagnose cellular abnormalities or cancer directly.

Dilation and Curettage (D&C) with Hysteroscopy: A more comprehensive procedure performed under sedation or anesthesia where the cervix is dilated and the uterine lining is scraped and inspected with a camera.

Declining the biopsy: Choosing not to undergo the sampling. This carries the risk of leaving serious uterine conditions, including endometrial hyperplasia or cancer, undiagnosed and untreated.

Risks of Declining the Procedure

By declining this diagnostic biopsy, you accept the risk that serious uterine conditions, including cancer or precancerous cell changes, may remain undetected. Delaying diagnosis can allow these conditions to progress, limiting future treatment options and worsening your clinical prognosis.

Pathology and Laboratory Testing Disclosures

The collected uterine tissue sample will be placed in a preservative fluid and sent to an accredited pathology laboratory. A pathologist will examine the cells under a microscope and send a diagnostic report to our clinic. Our office will contact you with these results, typically within 5 to 7 business days, to review the findings and discuss next steps.

Right to Withdraw Consent

You have the absolute right to refuse this procedure or withdraw your consent at any time before the tissue collection begins. Your decision will not affect your relationship with your doctor or access to other healthcare services.

Language Access Services

If you require translation assistance or a medical interpreter to understand this form or discuss the procedure, a qualified interpreter is available at no cost. Inform clinic staff before signing.
