Dilation and Curettage – A Procedure to Treat Uterine Conditions

Dilation and curettage (D&C) is a medical procedure that involves the removal of tissue present inside the uterus. It is performed to diagnose certain uterine disorders and treat them. These conditions can be heavy bleeding or clearing the uterine lining after abortion, or a miscarriage.

Who should get dilation and curettage (D&C) Treatment?

Dilation and curettage treatment is a surgical procedure that a person undergoes when she has had:

  • Leftover tissue in the uterus post-abortion
  • Miscarriage
  • Abnormal uterine bleeding between menstruation periods
  • Bleeding post menopause
  • Presence of abnormal endometrial cells discovered during cervix cancer testing

What are the Dilation and Curettage surgical procedures?

The health care providers give the patient anaesthesia. During the procedure, the patient lies on their back on the operation table while the heels get the support of stirrups to rest. The surgeon takes a Pap test by inserting a tiny instrument known as a speculum into the vagina to see the cervix.

Followed by this, the surgeon again places a series of thicker rods into the cervix for slow dilation until it is open enough. The dilation rods are then removed, and a spoon-shaped instrument having a sharp edge or a suction tool is placed to remove the uterine tissue. Throughout the procedure, the patient does not feel any discomfort due to sedation or an unconscious state.

How long does a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure take?

A dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure usually take about 5 to 10 minutes itself. However, the process may even get a bit longer as the patient needs to wait for a few hours in the recovery room after the procedure after release.

What are the post-operative procedures or discharge care?

Post-surgery, the patient needs to rest for a few hours in the recovery room of the hospital for monitoring. The healthcare providers monitor if there is heavy bleeding or any other complications. In addition, this period is vital to recovering from the effects of general anaesthesia.

The doctor usually recommends visiting for regular checkups after a week or two.

What are the risks and complications of the dilation and curettage procedure?

Complications due to dilation and curettage are certainly rare.However, there are some possible risks that include:

  • Infection
  • Foul smell vaginal discharges
  • Perforation in case a surgical instrument jabs and makes a hole in the uterus.
  • Cervix damage
  • Lasting dizziness
  • Scar tissue on the uterine wall
  • Asherman’s syndrome
  • Prolonged cramps
  • Heavy bleeding that compels them to change menstrual pads every hour
  • Fever
