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 . 

  • I agree it said on my letter utora sound so my bladder was full and I didn't wee I think that's why it was so painful it was not an ultra sound having a piece of my womb taken is a completely different procedure, I'm getting worried as they've taken bloods dome an ultra sound the one thar is in and out, then I went for thar womb sample this week had an mri no one has said it's ok it's not serious yet. I think waiting is the worst part at least if I know I know I'd rather know yes or no than be waiting I would talk to your gynogolist ask them for an mri, mine is due to a cyst they found but they took the sample to check for endometriosis I'm 28 so I think they've rushed I through incase it is cancer luckily 

  • Mine was a few days they said uf I start heavy bleeding go to A&E but it never happened luckily I also asked for antibiotics because I felt sick whi h is sign of infection then it calmed down 

  • I've woken up today with a temperature and flu like symptoms also started bleeding quite heavy so I'll call the doctor i think it's likely to be an infection at this point  thank you so much for replying. I hope you don't have to wait too long for your results. It's a stressful time xx

  • Hello Dawn

    I'm sorry to hear that you've woken feeling unwell this morning. If you've not already done so then please give your Dr a call this morning so that you can get things checked. 

    I do hope you're feeling better soon. 

    Best wishes,

  • Thank you Jenn

     

    I have a call booked with the GP for later today x

  • It sounds like an infection you need antibiotics and get the bleeding checked ASAP 

  • I've not long got off the phone to the GP she's listed as acute endometritis and presribed antibiotics with a fast track to the gynaecology ward if it doesn't help in the next 48hrs. Thank you all for your responses
