I have had 3 so far all of them I had no problems. The only one that was an issue was the regular biopsy but they followed it with the hysteroscopy and D&C and the doctors were able to assess the situation better and determined that the biopsy was incorrect. We then came up with a treatment plan that works for me. I was nervous every time, but I had an amazing team and I hope that you do too.

I had both after a transvaginal ultrasound for bleeding. I was put under and had no problems at all with the procedure

After a pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound and an endometrial biopsy, I had a D&C and hysteroscopy because of endometrial hyperplasia with atypical cells. Path report from that shows stage 1 endometrial cancer. Meeting with gynoncologist tomorrow to prepare for hysterectomy.

Yes, sometimes doctors need to perform a D&C after an initial endometrial biopsy. This typically happens if the first biopsy didn't collect enough tissue for analysis or if the results weren't clear enough.

Yes, sometimes doctors need to perform a D&C after an initial endometrial biopsy. This typically happens if the first biopsy didn't collect enough tissue for analysis or if the results weren't clear enough.

A D&C is a more thorough procedure where your doctor dilates the cervix and uses a special tool to collect tissue samples from the uterine lining. During this procedure, they can also use a camera called a hysteroscope to look inside your uterus. The procedure usually takes about an hour and is performed under general anesthesia or sedation in an outpatient surgery clinic. Most people can go home the same day. While it's more invasive than the initial biopsy, it can provide your healthcare team with important additional information to guide your treatment plan.
