Have to go for Biopsy

Women's health

Has anyone had to go for a  biopsy  of the uterus ?

 Inserting two tablets of  MISOPROSTOL into the vagina night before  procedure  ??

Hi, ive had biopsies taken during a hysteroscopy, but I didn't have to have anything the night before. Just a couple of painkillers an hour beforehand.

Good luck

I believe Misoprostol is used to help soften the cervix to make it easier for insertion of instruments for biopsy. I would think this would lessen your discomfort during the procedure. I hope all goes well for you.☺

Hi Cmt, I need to have one done soon and I'm so nervous.   May I ask why they are sending you for one?

I got a period after 2 1/2 years of nothing...

in menapause ..

went for ultrasound...so now she decided to insert instrument into uterus and take a sample of wall for biopsy..

have to insert these two pills into my vagina night before procedure ..to help relax or open cervix . Mine was apparently close to much.

I had that biopsy twice BUT I did not do the misoprostol the night before I was given nothing not even during the bisopy either!

She tried but my cervix was too closed.. so she decided to have me come back and take these meds before I return

I have just had a biopsy done last week but did not have to insert any medication. It lasted about a minute and was uncomfortable but not terribly painful.

Well, the only thing that makes any sense to me about this is because my cervix closed ...to tight,..

sometimes if they try to  insert the instrument they can puncture the wall of the uterus if the cervix is too tight to pass through. That’s the reason for the medication to apply night before..

i suppose this can happen if one has not been sexually active for awhile..

Not sure. Anyway thanks for your reply nectarine...

How old are you when you had this done?

I had a biopsy. Did not insert anything in advance. I'm not sure where you are located, but there are different procedures in different locations. Are they going to use any pain killer? It's quite uncomfortable, but the whole procedure took less than 4 minutes.

I had one as I was bleeding after 5 years of nothing. Ended up that my vagina wall was torn due to no lubrication. They wanted to be sure so had to go for scan and biopsy.

Same here...nothing before or during.

What do you mean nothing before or during?

My cervix was closed too the doctor had me scared to death, wanted to do in ER , or insert pills and so on! I switched obgyn doc and she did it in the office and had me to cough and went through several times and it was very bearable and when she had me cough I guess thats when she broke through, I felt hardly anything and I think she took a few different biopsies. I did bleed a day or two afterwards. I think God everything came back good.

I haven't had one, but I will in two weeks. I am nervous too because I am having a lot of issues recently anz blood pressure going high apparently due to menopause and anxiety. I haven't had a period in 6 months and recently got it. My best to you please let us know after how you are

I meant no pain killer or anesthesia before or during the procedure.
