Questions Submitted

  • For the indications of endometrial biopsy, there is any AUB in BMI min 30, and <45 y.o. Does this include 20-30 year olds with oligomenorrea who are obese? or bleeding for 3 weeks in a 20 y.o., obese patient? Should we do a trial of increasing estrogen in OCP first for this last case and see if it responds or do we go directly to endometrial biopsy? Thanks!
