Do you need a D&C for irregular menstruation and thick endometrium?

Patient's question:

19-year-old girl has been feeling more tired recently, her body feels unhealthy, could it be this disease? Please ask: irregular menstruation and thick endometrium require dilation and curettage?

Doctor's answer:

You have been taking traditional Chinese medicine to regulate your menstrual cycle, but the effect has not been significant. Currently, your endometrium has thickened, so it is recommended that you undergo a diagnostic D&C (dilation and curettage). D&C is beneficial for removing endometrial cancer and precancerous lesions. Additionally, the pathology results from the D&C will guide future treatment, making the procedure necessary. In fact, a D&C is a minor surgery and there is no need to worry excessively about it. Do not have any psychological pressure, maintain a positive mood, and pay attention to getting plenty of rest during this period. Additionally, maintain a light diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods, which will be beneficial for both you and the fetus in your womb.
