Endometrial Biopsy


Home Care and Complications

What happens later at home?

A woman may go back to normal activity as soon as she gets home. Cramping may be treated with an over-the-counter pain medication, such as ibuprofen or naproxen. The woman should avoid sexual intercourse, douches, and tampons for two to three days.

What are the potential complications after the procedure?

Complications are rare but may include:

  • bleeding from the cervix
  • creation of an abnormal hole from a cut, tear, or puncture of the uterus
  • infection in the uterus
