About this trial

The primary aim of this study is to rigorously compare the efficacy of two commonly used endometrial sampling devices, the Pipelle and the Miltex, these devices are standard of care at Maimonides. This primary objective is critical, as the ability to accurately reach the uterine cavity is fundamental to obtaining adequate samples for histopathological evaluation, which is crucial for diagnosing endometrial cancer and other uterine pathologies.
