Chronic endometritis is a persistent inflammation of the endometrium, the inner lining of the uterus. This condition can significantly impact reproductive health, leading to symptoms such as abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, and infertility. Chronic endometritis is often caused by infections, retained products of conception, or autoimmune disorders, and it can be challenging to diagnose without appropriate testing.

What is an Endometrial Biopsy?

An endometrial biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the removal of a small sample of tissue from the endometrium. This sample is then examined under a microscope to identify any signs of inflammation, infection, or other abnormalities. An endometrial biopsy is a crucial diagnostic tool for evaluating chronic endometritis and determining the appropriate course of treatment.

Why Choose an Endometrial Biopsy?

An endometrial biopsy is essential for several reasons:

• Accurate Diagnosis: It provides definitive information about the health of the endometrium, helping to confirm or rule out chronic endometritis.
• Guiding Treatment: The results of the biopsy can inform treatment options, including antibiotics for infections or other therapies to address underlying causes.
• Fertility Assessment: For women experiencing infertility, an endometrial biopsy can help identify issues that may be affecting implantation and pregnancy.
