A member asked:
Why would a hysteroscopy be necessary if ultrasound showed only fre fluid and no other signs of retained placenta? could us miss pieces post a d&c. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: Ultrasound is very accurate about retained products of conception. You don't say how thick then endometrium is and that may be the reason for hysteroscopy and d&c
