hello..
thanks for trusting the health care magic doctors for your health related issues.
for thickened endometrium d&c usually done because it is both diagnostic and therapeutic.
diagnostic means by examine the removed tissue in lab one can diagnose the pathology behind it.
therapeutic means after doing d&c heavy bleeding stops.
so it is having dual benefit, so u can go for d&c.
good luck..
