ENDOMETRIAL BIOPSY with PIPELLE

What is an endometrial biopsy?

Endometrial biopsy is the collection of small pieces of tissue from the inside of the uterus.

​

What is pipelle?

Pipelle is a thin catheter with which, through the vagina and cervix, we can collect biopsies of endometrial tissue and send them for histological examination.

​

What are the advantages of biopsy with pipelle?

•  Painlessly

•  At the clinic

•  The endometrium is not injured

•  Low cost compared to Dilation & Curettage

•  No anesthesia 

•  High diagnostic accuracy

 

In which cases is the endometrial biopsy performed with pipelle?

• Thick endometrium in menopause 

• Menopausal Bleeding

• Endometrial recheck-biopsy after insertion of an endometrial system-progesterone spiral (Mirena). In this way we can check the endometrium whenever we want without moving the endometrial spiral.

• Check for Endometrial microbiome, in cases     of infertility or multiple miscarriages.

• In cases of receiving treatment for breast cancer, where the parallel control of the endometrium is needed. 

• Simultaneously with diagnostic office hysteroscopy.
