Endometrial Biopsy

Reading Time: < 1 minutes

Key Takeaways
  • Evaluates the health and hormone response of the uterine lining.
  • Can help diagnose inflammation or hormonal imbalance.
  • Simple, in-office procedure that takes just minutes.

The uterus plays a critical role in conception, and a healthy uterine lining (endometrium) is key to successful embryo implantation. An endometrial biopsy helps your doctor evaluate that lining more closely.

During this test, a small sample of tissue is collected from the uterine lining using a thin catheter. The sample is then analyzed under a microscope to check for inflammation, infection, or hormonal irregularities.

Your doctor might recommend this test if you’ve experienced implantation failure, recurrent miscarriage, or irregular bleeding.

The procedure takes only a few minutes and may cause mild cramping, similar to period discomfort. Most patients resume normal activities the same day.

At RPSD, we use biopsy results to tailor your treatment plan—ensuring that your uterus is optimally prepared for embryo transfer or natural conception.
