    Endometrial Biopsy

    Quick, accurate diagnostic test to investigate abnormal bleeding and assess womb lining health

    An Endometrial Biopsy is a simple, clinic-based procedure used to take a small sample of tissue from the lining of the womb (endometrium). This sample is examined under a microscope to help identify the cause of symptoms such as abnormal bleeding, hormonal changes, or fertility concerns. 

    It is a fast and effective diagnostic test that helps guide the right treatment plan, especially when symptoms need further investigation.

    Why Consider Endometrial Biopsy

    An endometrial biopsy may be recommended if you are experiencing: 

    • Heavy or prolonged periods 
    • Irregular menstrual bleeding 
    • Bleeding between periods 
    • Bleeding after menopause 
    • Unexplained pelvic pain 
    • Difficulty conceiving 
    • Thickened womb lining seen on ultrasound

    • Endometrial hyperplasia (thickened womb lining) 
    • Hormonal imbalance 
    • Polyps or inflammatory changes 
    • Early abnormal cell changes (rare but important to rule out)

    Early investigation ensures appropriate treatment and reassurance where needed.
