One of the reported disadvantages of sampling with Pipelle curette is failure to collect enough tissue for histological analysis. The role of psychological factors such as anxiety and pain sensitivity in obtaining adequate samples is not well known. The study's objective was to explore whether there is relationship between severe pain, anxiety, and the rate of Pipelle failure.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Study included 158 women with median age of 42 who underwent Pipelle endometrial biopsy at Clinical Academic Department of Women\u2019s Health of the University Medical Center (UMC), Nur-Sultan City, Kazakhstan with an abnormal uterine bleeding from June 2019 to April 2021.

Women who experienced severe pain during procedure tend to be more anxious during procedure (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0001) and have higher number of sampling attempts (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0040). Pain level was higher among patients sampled by the junior OB\/GYN specialist (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001).
