If you check in the archives, you will find an explanation by one of the physician's.

Here is my description as I know it to be (I have had both done).

A D&C is a Dilatation and Curretage. Your cervix is dilated and an instrument is placed inside the uterus and the lining is scraped. This can help to diagnose the reason for the bleeding.

A Hysteroscopy is where a scope is placed through the cervix to view the inside of the uterus. They can see if there are polyps, fibroids, etc. Both Polyps and Fibroids can cause irregular bleeding.

Hope this is helpful.
