The risk of any damage to your womb during the procedure is very small. If any damage should occur, it should heal without further treatment. If the sample is taken whilst you are pregnant, it could possibly cause a miscarriage, but we will do a pregnancy test for you before you have a uterine sample taken.

Are there any side effects from the uterine sampling?
You may experience some mild discomfort whilst the sample is being taken. This should not be worse than a perid pain.

You may be advised to take mild pain killers (eg: Nurofenx2 or Paracetamolx2) prior to your appointment if you are sensitive.
