Dilation and Curettage (D&C) Treatment in Bangalore

Dilation and curettage (D&C) treatment

Advantages of dilation and curettage (D&C):

Dilation and Curettage (D&C) offers several advantages over alternative reproductive health procedures. It is an effective and minimally invasive option that provides precise removal of uterine tissue, lowers the risk of complications, and offers diagnostic benefits.

Uses of dilation and curettage (D&C):

D&C is often used as a diagnostic tool to investigate various gynecological conditions. It allows for the evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding, such as heavy or prolonged menstrual periods. Additionally, it can help diagnose and treat certain uterine conditions, such as polyps, fibroids and endometrial or uterine cancer. D&C can also be used as a therapeutic intervention. For example, it is commonly performed to remove remaining tissue after a delivery and miscarriage or an incomplete abortion. 

Risks of dilation and curettage (D&C):

Like any medical procedure, D&C carries some risks and potential complications. These can include infection, bleeding, perforation of the uterus, or adverse reactions to anesthesia. It is important for patients to discuss these risks with their gynecologist and understand the potential benefits and alternatives before undergoing the procedure.

Before and during dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure:

Before undergoing a D&C, our expert gynecologist at signora clinic will provide you with specific instructions to follow. These may include fasting for a certain period of time or adjusting your medication regimen. It is important to follow these guidelines to ensure the procedure goes smoothly. Prior to the start of the D&C, anesthesia will be administered to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Once you are adequately anesthetized, the next step in the D&C procedure is to dilate the cervix. This is necessary to allow access to the uterine cavity. Our expert gynecologist will use dilators of increasing size to gradually open the cervix. This process is known as cervical dilation. Once the cervix is adequately dilated, a small, spoon-shaped instrument called a curette is used to gently scrape the lining of the uterus. This helps remove any abnormal growths, such as polyps or tissue that may be causing complications.

Will dilation and curettage (D&C) affect my menstrual cycle?

Dilation and curettage (D&C) procedures may temporarily affect your menstrual cycle in terms of timing, flow, and duration; these changes are typically temporary and should resolve within a few months. If you experience persistent irregularities or heavy bleeding it is important to consult with an expert gynecologist for further evaluation and guidance.
