Endometrial biopsy

Pipel biopsy is a method of research in gynecology, which allows you to obtain a part of the uterine mucosa in the most gentle way possible. Pipel biopsy of the endometrium provides valuable information in the diagnosis of diseases that are associated with lesions of the uterine mucosa.

Advantages

The construction of the apparatus with which the pipel-biopsy is performed and the method of the procedure itself make this method of research as safe and painless as possible.

In order to perform a pipel-biopsy, it is not necessary to dilate the cervix.

In the process of pipel-biopsy of the endometrium, the possibility of damaging the walls of the uterus is practically excluded. The procedure is performed in a few minutes in a regular gynecological office, and the woman can go home immediately.

Complications that are possible with other, more invasive diagnostic procedures are also rare. Among them are the entry of infection from the vagina into the uterine cavity, scarring of the cervical canal, damage to the uterine wall.

A woman during the procedure may feel a little discomfort, but not pain.

How is a pipel-biopsy performed?

Reviews about pipel-biopsy of the endometrium often describe the speed and comfort of the procedure, as far as this can be said in the conditions of a medical office. At Dobrobut, we try to minimize possible discomfort for our patients as much as possible.

The price of pipel-biopsy in Dobrobut includes all consumables and analysis of the results of the study.

Pipel-biopsy is performed with a disposable sterile catheter. This is a thin, flexible tube that has a piston inside it. It is called a Pipel probe.

Anesthesia is usually not required during the procedure, but the doctor can give it if the patient wishes.

The Pipel probe is placed in the canal of the cervix, and the doctor gradually advances it into the cavity until it makes contact with the wall. The doctor can then take the material. He pulls the piston and pulls some mucous membrane into the reservoir. This maneuver is repeated in several areas of the uterus, after which the probe is removed.

The procedure lasts approximately 20 minutes.

Preparation

The doctor can cancel some medications just before the study, a few days in advance. This is especially true for drugs that affect blood clotting. It is also desirable not to use intravaginal agents.

About the recommendations on the preparation for pipel-biopsy in the clinic Dobrobut you can learn from the reviews of our patients and from the administrator.

Rehabilitation period

Rehabilitation after paipel-biopsy is practically absent. A woman immediately after diagnosis can lead a normal lifestyle. In the first days after the procedure, there may be a slight pulling pain in the lower abdomen, scanty blood discharge. If there are such symptoms, it is necessary to make a small pause in sexual life.

The nearest menstruation after the procedure may not come at its usual time.

If you have any questions about your condition or unpleasant symptoms, be sure to discuss them with your doctor.

Results of the pipelle biopsy

It may take up to two weeks before the histology results are available. The doctor will detail the nature and amount of material taken, and draw his or her conclusion. This data will allow your treating gynecologist to plan treatment, having maximum information about the processes in the mucous membrane of the uterus.

The results of the pipel-biopsy significantly affect the choice of treatment methods and drugs. If there is a suspicion of an oncologic process, these data help to diagnose in time and avoid severe consequences.
