Having had an endometrial biopsy - I have to say it was extremely painful. It was awful. Don't mislead a patient by saying "you will feel a little pressure." This is a lie.

I had one but it didn't hurt too bad. Definitely uncomfortable though

I had a couple that weren't too bad so when others told how horrific theirs was, I was surprised. Fast forward to this week, after having tons of issues and going back for another ultrasound, my fibroids have grown and 1 is over 8 cm. I'm 11 years postmenopausal and have been on an anti estrogen medicine due to recurring breast cancer. So the doctor tried to do an endometrial biopsy but due to the large fibroid she had a hard time getting the tossue she needed. It was horrific pain and I got super dizzy. I've been through a lot of stuff and can normally deal with it, but this was over the top. So pathology couldn't even test for cancer as it was just endocervical gland pieces. I'm so frustrated. I can't get into other gyn for hysterectomy consult until late next month.

Yes, endometrial biopsy with no anesthesia is very painful and large fibroid made it difficult to obtain the correct tissue. Hysteroscopy under general anesthesia much easier and gave definitive results.

I have to be honest that I had a biopsy in the office and I had no pain. I did bleed a lot and for most of the day. I do have st.3c endometrial cancer, just finished 6 rds of chemo, will be having radiation and immunotherapy.

There are MANY women who would vehemently disagree with this doctor when she states an endometrial biopsy does not require analgesia, since it not a painful procedure. I am sure she is very smart doctor, but on this point she is clueless.

Absolutely. I'm going in for one soon and every woman I've talked to (many) who's had a biopsy has said it was extremely painful and not to have one unless my doctor uses lidocaine.

I'm never getting a blind biopsy...esp in office with only ibuprofen and gaslighting to help me!! These ppl are insane and I want to fly to Bali or something to escape westernized medicine

What if you have endometrial hyperplasia, very unusual bleeding but are not menopausal but approaching - along with fibroids getting very dismissed & I have history of uterine/ovarian cancers in family

@@nicolastewart5751 you can definitely have unusual thickening even before meno, so make sure and see your gyn about that. You might need a vaginal ultrasound and possibly just help with hormone balancing.

How about acrivon Therapeutics? Is their clinical drug and diagnosis promosing?
