Hello
Thank you Dr . will d&c help reduce my heavy periods or else I should go for ablation or laproscopic hysterectomy for one shot exit from these problems becoz I can't go thru all these surgeries line by line and anyways I have child thru ivf and cannot have more becoz my hubby is atrophic . I really don't want experiments with my body as I went thru infection becoz of long use of pads and it goes off and on with my periods, my sex life is screwed and my work out is soo back left becoz I bleed whenever I workout. So suggest plz me something sure to treat me . If needed I ll go thru harmonal therapy thru out my life after hysterectomy but not with this heavy bleeding

Brief Answer:
Diagnosis should be confirmed

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, D & C is mandatory in your case as the cause for heavy bleeding with thick endometrial lining can be:
1. endometrial hyperplasia
2. dysfunctional uterine bleeding
3. endometrial carcinoma.
The diagnosis needs to be confirmed before proceeding on to further management, as each of these have different management strategies.
Ablation or hysterectomy is done based on the diagnosis.
D & C will also relieve your bleeding, but only in this cycle.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards
