Post Endometrial Biopsy

To promote healing and lessen discomfort, please follow these guidelines:

• For the next ONE week, do not insert anything into your vagina. This includes tampons, douching, and sexual intercourse.

• OK to resume usual activities after leaving today.

• You may shower. Avoid hot tubs or swimming for one week.

• You may have mild cramping in your lower abdomen for one to two days.

• You may take Ibuprofen such as Advil, Motrin, Aleve or Tylenol if you are not allergic to it. Please follow the instructions on the bottle. Use ibuprofen 200 mg, 2 tablets every 4 hours as needed for severe cramps. 

You may have some dark or bright red spotting/discharge for one to two days. This may last for up to one week. Use pads only (no tampons). Do not be alarmed if your period is off-schedule this month.
