A member asked:
How urgent is a d&c if my uterous lining is 18mm and had a heavy period (un characteristic for me). my appt is in a month, but should i bump it up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check with OB: The doctor who felt that a D&C was indicated and then scheduled it, is the best source of info on this subject. Don't know why and for what the D&C was scheduled, and so cannot determine degree of urgency. Call the doctor.
