[Good practice and accuracy of office hysteroscopy and endometrial biopsy].
Office hysteroscopy may be performed without anaesthesia. Endometrial biopsy can be performed during hysteroscopy. Antalgics or other treatment to reduce discomfort are not indicated. Prophylactic antibiotics are not indicated. Diagnostic value of hysteroscopy for endometrial pathology is interesting. Pipelle is the most appropriate instrument for endometrial biopsy.
