Dilation and Curettage (D&C) is a minor gynecological surgery used to remove tissue from the uterus for diagnosis or treatment. It's commonly performed to manage irregular bleeding, remove pregnancy tissue after a miscarriage, or diagnose uterine conditions such as fibroids or cancer. Despite being a short and safe procedure, it plays a crucial role in maintaining reproductive health and preventing complications.

At Medicover Hospitals, D&C procedures are carried out by experienced gynecologists using sterile and minimally invasive techniques.

What is Dilation and Curettage (D&C) Surgery?

A Dilation and Curettage (D&C) is a surgical procedure where the cervix is dilated (widened) and a special instrument called a curette is used to remove tissue from the uterine lining. The procedure is often done after a miscarriage, excessive menstrual bleeding, or abnormal ultrasound findings.

D&C can be both diagnostic and therapeutic diagnostic to identify the cause of symptoms like bleeding, and therapeutic to treat or remove unwanted uterine tissue. It is usually performed under local or general anesthesia and takes about 15-30 minutes.

When Does a D&C Surgery Become Necessary?

  • D&C surgery is often recommended in the following cases:
  • Heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding that doesn't respond to medication.
  • Miscarriage management to remove the remaining pregnancy tissue.
  • Postpartum complications, such as a retained placenta.
  • Diagnosis of uterine growths like polyps or fibroids.
  • To test for endometrial cancer when abnormal cells are suspected.

Your gynecologist will evaluate your condition with an ultrasound and blood tests before recommending D&C.
