Probably: The D&C adds little additional risk to the hysteroscopy and is often beneficial to check the lining of the uterus besides the polyp od fibroid.

Having a hysteroscopy/ D&C for polyp removal, look at fibroid and possible adenomyosis. Is this likely to bring some pain relief and lessen bleeding?
