Patient's question:
Just had a hysteroscopy, and a D&C was performed for endometrial hyperplasia. Yesterday, when the doctor reviewed the ultrasound report, they mentioned that they were unsure if they heard correctly—apparently, they said the ultrasound should be done during menstruation. When should the ultrasound follow-up be done after hysteroscopy—should it be during menstruation or after menstruation has ended?Doctor's answer:
If the endometrium is fibrotic, it is generally recommended to do a detailed ultrasound check before menstruation. Understand the thickness of the endometrium. If it is different from the normal thickness of the endometrium during the menstrual cycle, a detailed ultrasound check can also be done after menstruation if necessary. The cyclical shedding of the endometrium results in menstruation. After menstruation is clean, the endometrium is thinnest. Then it gradually grows to its thickest point before menstruation, and shedding will be better afterward.
