What is Dilation and Curettage Surgery?
Dilation and Curettage (D&C) surgery is a minor procedure where the cervix is dilated, and the uterine lining is scraped or suctioned to remove abnormal tissues. It is commonly performed to treat excessive bleeding, remove tissue after a miscarriage, or diagnose uterine conditions. The procedure is generally safe, with minimal complications, and is performed under general or local anesthesia. Recovery is quick, and most patients resume normal activities within a few days. It is a vital procedure for maintaining reproductive health and diagnosing potential concerns.
