text: ladies : i had an edimetrial biopsy last week. what is the dr. looking for? she seemed evasive to me.? i've had a bunch of female probs. this last year...excessive bleeding being one of them. is this checking for hormones or what???? thanks for the info! i feel as if i have to correct some well-meaning information given to you by ilovemycfnis.  if a doctor is doing an endometrial biopsy, they are not looking for hpv.  they are looking for any cancer in the lining of the uterus.  endometrial cancer can cause excessive bleeding, and he/she is just looking to rule that out.  if the biopsy is negative, the doctor will make a detemination based on your history, as to a course of treatment.  i hope this is helpful to you.
