We commonly perform two types of biopsies: endometrial and cervical biopsies. The method depends on where we’re taking the tissue sample. Endometrial biopsies can be done using dilation and curettage, endometrial pipelle biopsy, or hysteroscopy-guided biopsy. For cervical biopsies, our team uses a colposcope, a specialized lighted microscope that magnifies the tissue that lines the cervix and vagina.
We also offer diagnostic procedures such as ultrasounds and saline infusion sonohysterograms. Ultrasound uses sound waves to create images, helpful for detecting fibroids, polyps, and ovarian cysts, and planning treatments. Saline infusion sonohysterograms also use sound waves to visualize the uterus, recommended if you have symptoms like irregular bleeding, infertility, miscarriages, or fibroids.
