Pain after endometrial biopsy

Good morning, I had a transvaginal scan last week, and as it showed a thickened womb lining and fibroids, the consultant did an endometrial biopsy at the same time. That was 10 days ago, and although the bleeding stopped after a few days, I have a lot of pain in my vagina, sharp pains like sandpaper, and I can't sit down. I am post menopausal, not on HRT and have not been sexually active for 6 years so I am wondering if the pain may be due to vaginal atrophy? Did anyone else have pain for a week or so after a biopsy? How long did it take to subside? Thank you :)

  • I am 28 but I had one last week and feel similar not with sandpaper but when they did it I almost asked them to stop it was so painful such a sharp pain like being stabbed it was nothing like periods cramps and when trying to sleep I now have a lot of pain bit I can't find any info to see if thos is normal so I also pain too it's just not the same kind of pain 

  • I am in this exact same position, can't find any information about it online at all except for here. 

    To cut a long story short i am in the process of being diagnosed for PCOS when they spotted on my transvaginal ultrasound scan that my endometrium lining was 22mm (i'm 32 for reference) went to my first gynae appointment on saturday and she did two biopsies i am still in pain now, lower back ache, bleeding but not heavy (yet) and generally feel sick like nausea in my stomach. I am starting to get concerned whether this is normal. also i had no idea this was being done so wasn't acutally aware of what i was getting myself into. had no painkillers beforehand not even a leaflet to walk out with. the pain was excruciating. i was sent home being put on the surgery list for novasure ablation. how long does it generally take for this pain to subside and when should it become an issue to raise with the GP is what i am wondering? 

     

    I hope everyones biopsies went ok i really don't know what to expect from hear on in .
