Endometrial Sample
As part of the clinical examination a sample may be taken form inside the uterus.
This involves inserting a very fine plastic tube through the cervix. While this may be
uncomfortable it avoids the need for a hospital admission for the D&C and only takes
a few seconds.

Our Service
We have developed this service with Mr Angus McIndoe (Gynaecological Oncologist)
and Mr Roberto Dina (Pathologist) to facilitate the rapid diagnosis of a variety of common gynaecological problems. We aim to get the results back to you within
48 hours.

The Rapid Diagnostic Service can clarify quickly why you have abnormal symptoms or
test results. To make your investigation as convenient as possible, we can organise a
number of tests on the same day. The tests that are chosen depend upon your particular symptoms and will vary from woman to woman.
