Yes: Excessive bleeding can be due to hormonal imbalance, fibroids, stress, anemia, bleeding disorder or rarely cancer- hysteroscopy and D&C casn help in diagnosis and management if routine bloodwork does not reveal a cause.

Sometimes: Many times a hysteroscopy and D&C can help excessive bleeding. There are many causes of excessive bleeding, and some are not helped by surgery.

Yes: The hysteroscopy will allow your doctor to see the inside of your uterus, if there is any abnormality - it will be seen and can be treated properly. The D&C is usually done as well to remove excessive or abnormal tissue which can decrease you beeding.

Yes: But first an ultrasound with an sis should be done and birth conrol pills can be used to decrease bleeding if you do not have any contraindications to taking them; if they fail then the ultrasound and possibly the hysteroscopy/operative hysteroscopy; the D&C is a bit outdated.

Yes and No: Yes, hysteroscopy is an excellent tool to diagnose the anatomical causes of excessive bleeding, such as polyps, fibroids, or even cancer. No, because the treatment benefit of a D&C is short-lived.
