What is Dilation and Curettage (D&C)?

Dilation and Curettage (D&C) is a surgical procedure performed to remove tissue from the inside of the uterus. The process involves two main steps:

Dilation: The cervix is gently dilated to allow access to the uterine cavity.
Curettage: The uterine lining is scraped or suctioned using a curette (a specialized surgical instrument) to remove abnormal tissue or samples for further examination.

Indications for D&C

D&C is often performed to investigate and treat causes of abnormal uterine bleeding, such as heavy or irregular periods.

Used to remove remaining tissue from the uterus after a miscarriage or elective abortion to ensure complete evacuation and prevent complications.

Indicated for patients with endometrial hyperplasia (thickening of the uterine lining) to obtain tissue samples for diagnosis and treatment.

Performed to remove uterine polyps or fibroids that cause symptoms like bleeding or pelvic pain.

Utilized to obtain endometrial samples for evaluation of abnormal uterine conditions or to rule out cancer.

The D&C Procedure

Preoperative Preparation

Before the procedure, patients will undergo a thorough evaluation, including medical history review and possibly imaging studies. Preoperative instructions may include fasting and arranging for transportation home after the procedure.

The Procedure

Anesthesia: The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the patient’s condition and preference.
Dilation: The cervix is gently dilated using instruments to provide access to the uterine cavity.
Curettage: A curette or suction device is used to remove tissue from the uterine lining. If performed for diagnostic purposes, a small tissue sample is taken for laboratory analysis.
Completion: The procedure is typically completed within 15-30 minutes. The patient is monitored for a short period before being discharged.

Recovery and Aftercare

Patients may experience mild cramping, bleeding, or discharge following the procedure. These symptoms are generally temporary and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.

Postoperative care includes:

Rest: Resting for the first 24-48 hours is recommended.
Activity Restrictions: Avoiding heavy lifting, vigorous exercise, and sexual intercourse for a few weeks as advised by the healthcare provider.
Monitoring Symptoms: Watching for signs of infection, excessive bleeding, or severe pain, and contacting a healthcare provider if these occur.

Follow-up visits are essential to monitor recovery, review any pathology results, and ensure that the uterus is healing properly. The healthcare provider will offer guidance on resuming normal activities and any further treatment if needed.

Benefits of D&C

Diagnostic Clarity

D&C provides valuable information about uterine conditions by allowing direct examination and sampling of uterine tissue, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Symptom Relief

The procedure can relieve symptoms associated with abnormal bleeding, polyps, fibroids, or endometrial hyperplasia, improving the patient’s quality of life.

Minimally Invasive

While it is a surgical procedure, D&C is typically performed on an outpatient basis with minimal recovery time compared to more invasive surgeries.

Potential Risks and Complications

While D&C is generally safe, potential risks and complications include:

Infection: Risk of infection in the uterus or pelvic area.
Bleeding: Excessive bleeding or spotting.
Uterine Perforation: Rare risk of a tear or perforation in the uterine wall.
Scarring: Scar tissue formation within the uterus (Asherman's syndrome) that may affect future menstrual cycles or fertility.
