A member asked:
Dilation of closed cervix/hysteroscopy/endo biopsy was done in the operating room. could not be done in the office because of my size? normal weight

Probably not: Usually procedures are done in the operating room if an extensive procedure is expected. It's easier to obtain more tissue, have access to more equipment, or more types of anesthesia are available for your comfort. Ask your doc. Most office procedures are simple hysteroscopy (take a peek) or simple emb (biopsy). An or setting makes it easier to perform a full d;c and obtain more tissue.
