Hello. I had a uterine biopsy this morning and all day I have had mild pelvic discomfort and pain, even in the area around my ovaries.   Anyone felt this?  I am sort of wondering if it is psychosomatic since I also have severe anxiety around medical issues and just the word biopsy freaks me out.  

Thanks in advance!!

    Seems logical that you would have some pain after a biopsy. You should check with your doc though.

    Hi Tracey,

    My uterine biopsy was the most painful procedure I've ever endured awake.  I had a light period and bad cramps for at least 2 days afterwards. I'm not sure if yours was like mine. But my Dr. put what looked like an extended wire hanger up in my business and then twirled it like a child with a straw.  

    Not psychosomatic at all!

      Mine was painful too. I heard some people received pain medication. I did not.

      Pain wasn't bad enough for the risk of a general for me (I have a thing about being put out)- yes, it was significant pain but it was over so quickly.  More concerning has been the ongoing bleeding - it's day 4 and it's as if I have a period again.  I called the doctor's office this morning and was told that this can happen for a week afterwards.  That was good to know - I was getting worried.  Because, you know, menopause = anxiety!

      Totally agree about being knocked out! I heard some receive pain meds though. I did not bleed afterwards, but I've already gone through menopause (5 years ago).

    I am hoping anyone’s can tell me something. I am on DAY SIX of debilitating pain after a routine uterus biopsy!! The pain has travelled down into my ovaries (Or that’s the best guess that I can tell).  I have been taking ibuprofen every 4-6 hours and they gave me antibiotics.  They said I have a bladder infection and that’s what is causing the pain.  They took a urine sample right before the biopsy.  I had no symptoms at all of a bladder infection, but did what they told me to. I am so sick of this pain!
