Endometrial aspiration biopsy

To clarify gynecological diagnoses, doctors often have to take samples of the endometrium - the inner layer of the uterus. Previously, this procedure was carried out by scraping and caused discomfort to the woman, but now there is a new low-traumatic method - endometrial aspiration biopsy (EAB).

The procedure is carried out by experienced gynecologists of the Dobrobut MC clinic in Kyiv, takes several minutes, and does not cause pain in the patient.

Advantages of EAB in gynecology

The main reasons for the popularity of this type of biopsy in Ukraine:

carrying out on an outpatient basis without anesthesia;
no expansion of injury to the cervical canal;
the ability to take samples from different parts of the uterine wall;

performance without trauma to the endometrium;
minimal risk of complications and adverse reactions after the procedure;
affordable cost.

Indications for endometrial biopsy

Histological examination of endometrial biopsy specimens is required if such diseases are suspected:

chronic endometritis;
endometrial hyperplasia;

endometriosis;
menstrual irregularities;

uterine fibroids and other types of benign tumors;
infertility;

miscarriage;
abnormal uterine bleeding.

Whether you need an aspiration biopsy is decided by the gynecologist after the initial consultation and examination. Before the procedure, it will be necessary to undergo other non-invasive diagnostic methods.

The EAB procedure is not performed for patients diagnosed with STIs, acute inflammatory diseases of the genital organs: vaginitis, colpitis, salpingo-oophoritis. Also, a biopsy is prohibited for pregnant women at any time.

Preparation in uterine endometrial biopsy

Before the diagnosis, the gynecologist must make sure that there are no contraindications, so the woman is prescribed several studies:

gynecological examination with extended colposcopy;

vaginal smear for microflora and STIs;
Ultrasound of the pelvic organs;

clinical blood and urine tests;
tests for HIV, viral hepatitis.

Your doctor may also recommend that you take pain medication 30 minutes before your procedure.

The cost of an aspiration biopsy at the Dobrobut MC clinic is indicated without taking into account the preliminary diagnostic complex. The amount of research before EAB is determined individually, taking into account the complaints and medical history of the woman.

2 days before the scheduled date of the procedure, it is necessary to refrain from sexual intercourse, douching, and not inserting vaginal suppositories and tablets. On the day of visiting the clinic, you need to empty the intestines, hold a standard toilet of the genitals.

How is the procedure carried out

The biopsy is performed in an examining chair. The doctor inserts a thin tip of the Pipelle probe through the cervical canal and retracts the piston, collecting endometrial samples from several areas of the uterus.
