Brief Answer:
Usually takes 10-15 minutes.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Hysteroscopy and D&C are short procedures. It takes 10-15 minutes to accomplish both of these. Doing the procedure in just 4 minutes means they must have taken only endometrial biopsy and not a complete curettage. Hysteroscopy must have been eventful that is why they took such a short time. Please do not worry and just wait for the report.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
