About Dilatation and Curettage

Dilatation and Curettage (D&C) is a common gynecological procedure performed by an Obstetrician-Gynaecologist. It involves gently dilating (widening) the cervix and then using a curette, a spoon-shaped surgical instrument, to carefully scrape or suction tissue from the lining of the uterus (endometrium). This procedure serves both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. It is often used to investigate abnormal uterine bleeding, diagnose conditions like endometrial hyperplasia or cancer, and to remove tissue following a miscarriage or incomplete abortion. Typically performed under general anesthesia or sedation, it is a short procedure, often done on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day.

Key Highlights

Provides both diagnostic evaluation and therapeutic treatment in one procedure.Typically a short, outpatient procedure with same-day discharge.Effectively manages heavy or irregular uterine bleeding.Essential for obtaining tissue samples for accurate pathological diagnosis.Can be a definitive treatment for removing products of conception after a miscarriage.

How to prepare
