I was referred for a hysteroscopy by my HRT consultant, after a recent pelvic ultrasound showed endometrium thickness of 7mm.
I've been for my appointment this morning, and was given an endometrial biopsy (by pippete?)instead of a hysteroscopy. The way the Dr described it made it sound like it basically does the same thing, but less invasive (and painful).
Now I'm wondering whether it is? I realise the biopsy bit would be the same, but I haven't had a camera take a look inside my uterus, which was what my consultant asked for.
The reason for all of it is regular post menopausal spotting, and have been told most likely because I'm using a natural progesterone. But best to check.
On plus side, minimal discomfort and cramps
Anyone had similar experience?
