What Medicine Should Be Consumed Before The Biopsy?
I am getting a uterine biopsy soon and have a very low tolerance for pain. I have never had children and my cervix is tight. I am 59 years old. I was give Cytotec to take the night before. I understand this can cause severe cramping. When I did get my period before menopause the cramps were severe - I had to take heavy doses of Advil 5 days BEFORE it started and then Darvon on the first 2 days. I thought for the biopsy I would take Mobic 5 days before and then Percocet a hour before the biopsy ( I have discussed this with my dr.) Any other suggestions? I am a wreck! Thank you!

Hello,
You can use anti-inflammatory drugs such as Advil or mefenamic acid for pain. The biopsy and D&C procedure are done with anesthesia so it is more likely you will not feel pain at all.
Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
