Endometrial Biopsy

Endometrial or Uterine Biopsy

An endometrial biopsy is a procedure to take a small tissue sample from the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium.

This test may be used to investigate abnormal menses (heavy bleeding, bleeding between periods, post-menopausal bleeding), infertility and chronic infections. It is useful in detecting uterine polyps, uterine fibroids, uterine cancer and adenomyosis.
