[Endometrial biopsy]
During the time we dedicate ourselves to health, we will answer a question that Isabel has transmitted to us from Andoain. Isabel is at menopausal age, but she suffers from severe bleeding and has been referred to a gynecologist for an endometrial biopsy. You have heard that this biopsy is painful and you want to know what it consists of. The
endometrium is the tissue inside the uterus, and the endometrial biopsy consists of taking some samples of the endometrium. Biopsy is a common activity to look for infections, look for signs of cancer, or find out the cause of irregular blood loss, among other things. It's a matter of ten minutes. The gynecologist does it in the same office. The gynecologist first examines the position of the uterus manually. And then he introduces a speculum to hold the vagina open, so the cervix is exposed. It also introduces another tool called a tenaculum to direct the tube that will be inserted later. This tube is flexible and penetrates through the neck of the uterus to the uterus. Under aspiration, the gynecologist takes samples of the endometrium in the tube.
According to the extraction of all the instruments, store the tube in a special container that will be sent for analysis by the gynecologist.
In response to Isabel’s concern, we would like to tell her not to be alarmed if she experiences a menstrual pain after the biopsy or if she loses some blood, which is normal and a conventional pain reliever will relieve her pain. Here's this week's health question.
