Patient's question:
I have a long menstrual period, lasting about 10 days in total, with a heavy flow that lasts for about 2 days. I had an ultrasound, which showed an endometrial thickness of 14mm, with uneven echoes and no obvious abnormal blood flow signals. The doctor recommended a D&C procedure. I want to ask if it's necessary to have a D&C.Doctor's answer:
Exceeding 1.3 cm should undergo diagnostic dilation and curettage. Considering your condition of adenomyosis, if the symptoms are not severe, medication can be administered. If the symptoms are severe and you do not have fertility requirements, surgical treatment can be considered. The occurrence of endometriosis not only affects women's physical health but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal discharge test in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. It is also important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
