More details to this question:
I had a D&C done in Feb of this year I was told that this procedure will be done to "drain my cysts" that I was told that I had. After the procedure the doctor told my husband that she Did not find any cyst. A few days later I got an ultrasound done which showed the same exact cysts I had prior to the procedure. The doctor stated that its okay now they are " Normal"! I was experiencing a lot of pain she was not able to tell me why, until this day I have pain I can not have intercourse. I am seeing a different doctor I've tried different medication but they have not worked now I am getting therapy to see if that can help with the paim if not I was told that the doctor has to do an operation. My new doctor also stated that this was not the proper procedure to do.

No. The damages for an unnecessary D&C is negligible and likely far less than the cost of the expert to attest as to whether it was proper. You can file a complaint with the board of medicine and see what they say, and they will discipline the doctor if they find some misconduct.
