Q: is a polyp usually detected with a hysterescopy & removed with d&c. mine wasn't, only seen when i had hysterectomy for thickened uterine lining.

Yes: A polyp should be seen with hysteroscopy, D&amp;C alone may result in incomplete removal of the polyp, unless hysteroscopy is done after the D&amp;C to make sure that the polyp was removed.
