Dr Jasdev Singh
Endometrial Biopsy
A small sample of the womb lining is taken and examined in the lab. It can reveal inflammation, infection or other changes that may affect implantation.
Implantation & Endometrial Assessment
Checking the womb lining for hidden problems
The endometrium is the lining of the womb, where an embryo implants. In a biopsy, a thin, flexible tube takes a small sample of this lining. The sample is then sent to the laboratory for testing.
The procedure is quick and usually done in the clinic. Most women describe it as a strong but brief cramp.
Dr Jasdev explains why a biopsy is being suggested and what the results could change.
A plan that starts with your results
Your age, history, test results and goals are reviewed before any treatment is suggested.
Clear reasons for each step
You will know why a test or medicine is recommended, what it can do and where its limits are.
Care that stays connected
Reviews are planned around how you respond, your cycle timing and your next decision.
What the biopsy can give you
- Detection of chronic endometritis, a mild inflammation of the lining
- Information on unusual changes in the lining
- Results that can guide treatment before a transfer
How your care is planned
Every stage answers three questions: what is happening, why it matters, and what comes next. The plan is reviewed at each stage and adjusted when needed.
Discuss the reason for the biopsy
Take the sample at the right time in your cycle
Review the results and plan any treatment
How the biopsy works
A speculum is placed, as in a smear test. A thin tube is passed through the cervix, and gentle suction takes a small piece of lining. It takes only a minute or two. Depending on the reason for the test, the sample may be checked for inflammation, infection or other changes.
Who may benefit
Women with repeated implantation failure, recurrent miscarriage, abnormal bleeding or a thickened lining on scan. It is not needed routinely before IVF, and it is suggested only when the result could guide your care.
What to expect
Taking a simple painkiller an hour beforehand can help. You may have cramps and spotting for a day. Results usually take one to two weeks and are discussed at your next visit, along with any treatment they point to.
How Dr Jasdev works with you
He brings together experience in fertility and gynaecology, and he explains things in plain language. Advice is based on current evidence and on what matters to you. You will always know what the next step is and why it has been suggested. He sees couples from Kuala Lumpur and across Malaysia, as well as some who travel from neighbouring countries.
What to bring to your appointment
Your records help Dr Jasdev understand your history quickly, so more of the visit can go to your questions. If you cannot find everything, bring what you have.
- Your cycle dates, as timing matters
- Previous scan and hysteroscopy reports
- A list of your medicines, including any blood thinners
What women often ask
Most couples arrive with several questions. These common ones can help you plan what to ask.
Why do I need a biopsy?
Will it hurt?
What if the result shows inflammation?
Will it delay my treatment?
Your questions about endometrial biopsy
What is an endometrial biopsy?
It is a quick procedure that takes a small sample of the womb lining for testing in the laboratory.
Who is it suitable for?
Women with repeated implantation failure, recurrent miscarriage, abnormal bleeding or unusual findings on scan. It is used when the result could change your care.
What tests are needed first?
A pregnancy test on the day, and usually a pelvic scan. The timing in your cycle is planned in advance.
Is it painful or risky?
Most women feel a brief, strong cramp. Spotting afterwards is common. Infection or injury is rare, and you will be told which symptoms to watch for.
Why see Dr Jasdev for this?
He only suggests a biopsy when the result is likely to guide treatment, and he explains the findings clearly.
How do I book?
Call or WhatsApp the clinic with the date of your last period, so the biopsy can be timed correctly.
This page is general information and does not replace a consultation. Whether a treatment suits you, and its risks and timing, should be discussed with Dr Jasdev based on your own history.
