Hello, everyone! Sahil Sheikh here. Today, I am going to tell you about Dilation and Curettage Treatment, or D&C in short. It is a method that the doctors are using to get rid of the lining of the uterus. Why is it performed? It may happen that a woman gets heavy bleeding, or there is some tissue left behind because of an abortion or miscarriage. A D&C is a procedure that helps in getting rid of the remaining tissue which is the origin of the infection and bleeding if that is the cause. It is also for taking small cup of samples for any abnormalities.
The treatment is done by a Gynecologist, where the doctor during the procedure, opens the cervix, the lower part of the uterus with a gentle method and then removes or suctions the lining with the aid of the instrument. It takes roughly five to ten minutes, and most women are allowed to go home the same day.
