Biopsy
A biopsy is a procedure performed to remove a small sample of cells for testing. The cells are examined in a laboratory to check for disease, or sometimes to see how badly a known disease is affecting them. Biopsy can be performed on any part of the body.
Although biopsy is most often associated with cancer, it can also be used to check for other diseases, such as infections. A biopsy sample can be scraped, cut, collected with a needle, taken with a machine that punches out a tiny piece, or removed with the tiny tools in an endoscope.
In most cases, a biopsy is a simple outpatient procedure. Depending on the procedure, patients may need to stop taking certain medications beforehand, such as blood thinners. It is important for patients to tell doctors if they are pregnant, as certain biopsies require the use of x-rays to guide the needle to the right location. There is usually very little pain associated with a biopsy. Patients will have to wait a few days to hear the results.

I was really hopeful given the high reviews. I imagine her office offers reasonable routine gynecological care, but I would not recommend for those seeking specialized care. I came in with excessive and painful bleeding caused by fibroids and was seeking treatment options. A Mount Sinai ultrasound indicated that I had three fibroids as well as an enlarged ovary/a shadowy area on one ovary. Despite having confirmed what the appointment would be for and having this information stored within Mount Sinai's system, the intake nurse began checking me in for an annual physical and marked my pain level at zero without asking me. After correcting her and finishing up intake, I was grateful that I didn't wait long to see Dr. Selitsky. I was also thankful that the doctor showed me the ultrasound images and described what she was seeing. However, I was put off by her bedside manner thereafter. I was told that I was "too young for surgery" for fibroids that were so small and so few. I was told to consider a hormonal pill or to continue using birth control to control the bleeding. When discussing how the heavy bleeding would likely continue or worsen as my body adjusted to hormone changes, I was told that I would "kind of have to get over it." When I asked about the finding on my ovary, she said it was "unimpressive" and told me not to worry. I got a second opinion and an MRI at NYU, where I found out that I have 7 fibroids and endometriosis. I was given a range of options and recommended surgery, which I'll have in a month.
