bleeding, infection, and cramping. In rare situations, there could be perforation of the uterus or cervix.
It can take a few days to completely recover from the biopsy and your doctor will give you a personalized recovery plan. Some of the general things that the plan might include are not using tampons or placing anything in your vagina for a week, not using a hot tub, avoiding sexual intercourse, and staying away from strenuous activities.
While you’re recovering, you need to keep an eye out for other signs that something is wrong. You should let your doctor know if you have a foul-smelling vaginal discharge, a fever, or flu-like symptoms.
An endometrial biopsy is a simple procedure but there are a few risks that you need to discuss with your doctor. It’s also important to ensure that you’re prepared for what happens during and after a biopsy. If your symptoms are worse than expected after the procedure, contact your doctor immediately.
