Abstract
Endometrial biopsy as an office procedure serves as a helpful tool in the work‐up of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), cancer screening, endometrial dating and infertility evaluation. Although office endometrial sampling using MVA syringe is simple, it is not being implemented effectively because of lack of knowledge, motivation and practice policy. The benefits of Vacuum Aspirator as an office endometrial sampling procedure in terms of feasibility, acceptability, pain scoring, sample adequacy, compliance and cost‐effectiveness were analyzed. Measures to implement it for routine OPD care were improvised. A descriptive cross‐sectional study was conducted. After a valid informed consent from the client, MVA syringe or sterile 20cc syringe with 4mm karman cannula and a connector was used for endometrial sampling in OPD in patients fulfilling inclusion criteria. A total of 50 patients were enrolled in the study after thorough counseling, detailed history, transvaginal ultrasound. Any minor complications were noted and addressed. Office endometrial sampling using Vacuum Aspirator is feasible, acceptable, practical approach with many benefits compared to traditional DC endometrial biopsy.
