Bleeding after a Uterine Biopsy
Hi, I had a uterine Biopsy done last friday (1 week ago today) I am very happy to report that everything was normal with my results! My question is this. I had some brown spotting the day after and on Sunday. But Monday I began bleeding and I am still bleeding today. It's not heavier than a normal period but it's been heavy for awhile now. I am due to start my period next week. I am not on the pill, but it's pretty close to every 28days. Can a biopsy cause you to start your period? I had some menstrual like cramping this morning but went away after ibruprohen was taken. I just wonder when I should be concerned about the bleeding. Could something have been injured or not healing right? If someone has any insight on this that would be very much appreciated. Thank you!!
Thank you for your response! The bleeding has lasted several days longer than a normal period. (normal for this heavy is only 2 days, it has been 5 now) It is heavier now the last two days, that's why I think maybe I started my period after the normal spotting. How do I know if its a hole in the uterus or internal bleeding. I will call the doctor monday if It's still bad, but don't know if a trip to the ER is necessary before then.

Hi!
A biopsy can certainly cause bleeding and there is probably no cause for alarm.
If you were my patient, I would advise waiting to see what happens after your period as probably the bleeding will stop at that point. If the bleeding perisists beyond a normal period, or becomes very heavy (more than a large pad in less than an hour) you probably have no need to worry.
Good luck!
