Endometrial Biopsy

Anatomy and Physiology

A woman’s reproductive organs include the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. The endometrium lines the inside of the uterus. The endometrial tissue is shed during each monthly menstrual period. The tissue then regrows and gradually thickens until the next menstrual period. This cycle ends with menopause. During pregnancy the endometrium is retained and serves as the attachment site for the placenta and developing fetus. An endometrial biopsy is the removal of a sample of tissue from the endometrium for testing. If you are still menstruating, your doctor may request that you schedule the test during a specific time in your menstrual cycle. An endometrial biopsy may be done for a variety of reasons. One of the most common is to check for endometrial hyperplasia, which is an abnormal thickening of the endometrium due to excess growth of cells. An endometrial biopsy may be recommended to investigate: Irregular uterine bleeding, uterine bleeding after menopause, lack of menstrual bleeding before menopause, fertility problems, the effectiveness of certain medications used to treat infertility, abnormal findings from an ultrasound test, certain types of abnormal Pap smears, possible infection of the endometrial lining. Endometrial biopsies are generally NOT done under the following conditions: pregnancy, infection in the deep pelvic organs, acute cervical or vaginal infections, blood clotting disorders, cervical cancer.

_{THE STATUE OF LIBERTY}

What do you see in the picture?

What does the statue have in its hand?

Have you ever visited the Statue of Liberty?

One of the most famous statues in the world stands on an island in New York Harbor. This statue is, of course, the Statue of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty is a woman who holds a torch up high. Visitors can go inside the statue. The statue is so large that as many as twelve people can stand inside the torch. Many more people can stand in other parts of the statue. The statue weighs 225 tons and is 301 feet tall.

The Statue of Liberty was put up in 1886. It was a gift to the United States from the people of France. Over the years France and the United States had a special relationship. In 1776 France helped the American colonies gain independence from England. The French wanted to do something special for the U.S. centennial, its 100th birthday.

Laboulaye was a well-known Frenchman who admired the United States. One night at a dinner in his house, Laboulaye talked about the idea of a gift. Among Laboulaye's guests was the French sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. Bartholdi thought of a statue of liberty. He offered to design the statue.

Many people contributed in some way. The French people gave money for the statue. Americans designed and built the pedestal for the statue to stand on. The American people raised money to pay for the pedestal. The French engineer Alexander Eiffel, who was famous for his Eiffel Tower in Paris, figured out how to make the heavy statue stand.

In the years after the statue was put up, many immigrants came to the United States through New York. As they entered New York Harbor, they saw the Statue of Liberty holding up her torch. She symbolized a welcome to a land of freedom.
