fractional curettage or hysteroscopy Posted: 03-01-08 03:18am
Good day!
I was diagnosed with endometrial polyp and
ovarian cyst left measuring 3.4 cm. I have
no other symptoms except mild
dysmenorrhea. My doctor suggested me to
have the polyp remove by means of
hysteroscopy. I went for a second opinion,
and the ob gyne told me to undergo
Fractional Curettage. I was so confused,
but, Curettage is cheaper than
Hysteroscopy. I just want to ask your
opinion about this, please help me decide.
I know Hysterocospy is less invasive but
it is very expensive procedure.
I'm waiting for your advise.
Thanks.

Do you know what your insurance will
cover? It's possible that with insurance
in the equation, the price difference will
matter less- usually they are more willing
to cover less invasive procedures, right?
From what I could tell on webMD, they are
both pretty common procedures. I'm sure
the risks are minimal with both, however,
less invasive means quicker recovery.
