Dilation and Curettage (D&C): Understanding the Procedure

A Dilation and Curettage (D&C) is a gynecological procedure that involves widening (dilating) the cervix and gently removing tissue lining the uterus (curettage). Here at Parvathi Hospital, we understand that undergoing a D&C can be a physically and emotionally challenging experience. Our compassionate healthcare team provides comprehensive care and support throughout the process. 

Reasons for D&C :

A D&C may be recommended for various reasons, including: 

Miscarriage

Following a miscarriage, a D&C can help ensure all pregnancy tissue is removed from the uterus to prevent infection and bleeding complications.

Abnormal Uterine Bleeding

D&C can be used to diagnose and treat the cause of heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding.

Removal of Tissue Samples

In some cases, a D&C may be performed to obtain tissue samples for biopsy to diagnose uterine conditions like fibroids or polyps.

Termination of Early Pregnancy

In some circumstances, a D&C may be used for elective termination of a pregnancy.

The D&C Procedure

A D&C is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning you won’t need to stay overnight at the hospital. The specific process may vary depending on the reason for the D&C, but generally involves: 

Recovery After D&C

Most women experience mild cramping and vaginal bleeding for a few days after a D&C. Your doctor will provide specific instructions on recovery care, including pain management, rest recommendations, and restrictions on activities like douching or sexual intercourse.

FAQ's

While D&C is a generally safe procedure, potential risks include infection, excessive bleeding, damage to the cervix or uterus, and incomplete tissue removal (requiring a repeat procedure). 

Most women can return to normal activities within a day or two, depending on the type of anesthesia used and individual recovery pace. Your doctor will advise you on specific restrictions and a timeline for returning to work or strenuous activity. 

In most cases, ovulation and menstruation resume within a few weeks after a D&C. Unless your doctor advises otherwise due to specific circumstances, you can typically conceive again whenever you feel physically and emotionally ready.
