Dilatation and Curettage

• Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: To diagnose and treat the cause of heavy, prolonged, or irregular menstrual bleeding.
• Post-Miscarriage Management: To remove any remaining tissue after a miscarriage to prevent infection or heavy bleeding.
• Endometrial Biopsy: To obtain a tissue sample from the lining of the uterus for further examination and diagnosis of conditions such as endometrial hyperplasia or cancer.
• Uterine Polyps or Fibroids: To diagnose or remove benign growths in the uterus that may be causing symptoms.

The D&C ProcedureD&C is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under local or general anesthesia. The steps involved in the procedure include:

• Preparation: Patients receive pre-operative instructions, including fasting guidelines and medication adjustments, to prepare for the procedure.
• Dilation: The cervix is gently dilated using specialized instruments to allow access to the uterine cavity.
• Curettage: A curette (a small, spoon-shaped instrument) is used to scrape or suction the uterine lining to remove tissue for examination or treatment.
• Completion: Once the necessary tissue is removed, the instruments are withdrawn, and the patient is monitored during the recovery phase before being discharged.

Recovery and Post-Operative CareThe recovery period following a D&C is usually short, with most patients experiencing mild cramping and light bleeding for a few days. Our team at Neo TrueNorth provides detailed post-operative care instructions, including:

• Pain Management: Recommendations for managing any discomfort with over-the-counter pain medications.
• Activity Restrictions: Guidance on resuming normal activities, typically within a few days, and avoiding strenuous exercise or heavy lifting.
• Follow-Up Care: Scheduling follow-up appointments to monitor recovery and discuss pathology results, if applicable.
