Hello. I had a uterine biopsy this morning and all day I have had mild pelvic discomfort and pain, even in the area around my ovaries. Anyone felt this? I am sort of wondering if it is psychosomatic since I also have severe anxiety around medical issues and just the word biopsy freaks me out.
Thanks in advance!!
Hi, Tracey. Sorry to learn you're in pain. I was in similar pain from my biopsy, too, for a few days. Your body experiences pain and stress from procedures In its own unique way, so each person is different. I wouldn't call it psychosomatic, its just been injured.
Please try to take one cay at a time. "Now" is all we can really claim. Best of luck. xx
Yes, I have had two biopsies and both times felt mild pain/discomfort in the area which went away after a couple of days.
How did it feel at the time. I’m freaked about at the thought of one. I can’t even have a smear test without terrible pain
It was fine, just very mild cramp for a few seconds and it was all done. Smears hurt a lot worse in my experience. Take some ibuprofen before
Thanks. I am loosing so much sleep over this. I wouldn’t mind being put to sleep but then I’d be worried about that too. Thanks a million. I hope your results are positive. I’m sure they will be xx
It hurt - pretty significant cramping - but it was over very quickly. I was so glad she was able to do it that way rather than surgical I honestly didn’t care about the pain! The doctor was fabulous - tried to distract me with little questions and that helped.
Thank you
Thank you.
Hi Tracey,
It is normal. Did you take anything? Maybe some Motrin or whatever you usually take for cramps. Hope you feel better soon and hoping for good results from your biopsy.
Hi, I was terrified, but I asked my doc for a mild tranquilizer to take the night before and about an hour and a half before. That helped with the fear. But I was so upset (I have bowel problems) I had to start to take immodium the afternoon of the day before the test.
I'm not saying my fear was greater than yours, I'm just saying it's totally against human nature to voluntarily show up for and "lie still and be good" while anyone does something painful to you. I've found lots of 5 year olds can put up a really good fight; who can blame them?
All the best, I'm thinking of you! xx.
Please do keep in touch! xx
I get that. Medical procedures freak me out too.
The procedure was excruciating, but it only lasted a few seconds. Had mild cramping / spotting after. But nothing major!
Yes it felt like period pain after having biopsy
Seems logical that you would have some pain after a biopsy. You should check with your doc though.
Hi Tracey,
My uterine biopsy was the most painful procedure I've ever endured awake. I had a light period and bad cramps for at least 2 days afterwards. I'm not sure if yours was like mine. But my Dr. put what looked like an extended wire hanger up in my business and then twirled it like a child with a straw.
Not psychosomatic at all!

Omg. I bet you wouldn’t have that done again without a General.
I need one soon and will definitely pay for a General if they were to refuse to let me have it.
