At Labiaplasty & Vaginal Surgery NYC, endometrial biopsies are performed in a comfortable and private office setting by our gynecologists using gentle, advanced techniques focused on patient care and accurate diagnosis. Our experienced gynecologists prioritize compassionate treatment while helping patients understand every step of the procedure. An endometrial biopsy, also known as a Pipelle biopsy, is a minimally invasive procedure used to collect a small sample of the uterine lining (endometrium) for laboratory evaluation. This important diagnostic test helps physicians identify abnormal uterine conditions, investigate irregular bleeding, and evaluate changes in the endometrial tissue.
A thin, flexible instrument called a Pipelle is carefully inserted through the cervix to obtain a small tissue sample from the lining of the uterus. The sample is then analyzed to detect abnormal cells, hormonal changes, inflammation, precancerous conditions, or uterine cancer.

- Heavy or prolonged menstrual periods
- Bleeding between periods
- Postmenopausal bleeding
- Irregular menstrual cycles

What to Expect During the Procedure
During the biopsy, a speculum is gently inserted into the vagina to visualize the cervix. The Pipelle device is then carefully passed through the cervix into the uterus to obtain a small sample of the uterine lining.
Most patients tolerate the procedure well and are able to return to normal daily activities shortly afterward.
