With the liberation of gender relations, the number of women with unexpected pregnancies has gradually increased, and the best way to solve unexpected pregnancies is abortion. There are several forms of abortion. Today we will introduce one of them, which is curettage. When it comes to curettage, many women will feel nervous. After all, this is an invasive operation, so there are many worries and fears in their hearts, especially for women who have an unexpected pregnancy for the first time. They are even more afraid of this operation. In order to fill this gap, today we asked relevant experts to introduce the detailed process of curettage to alleviate people's worries.

Curettage and dilation process 1. Consultation

If you need a curettage and dilation surgery, you should first choose a regular hospital, register at the outpatient clinic, buy disposable pads and speculum for examination, and wait for the doctor. Answer the doctor's questions about abortion seriously.

Curettage and dilation process 2. Examination

After the doctor has an understanding of your general condition, he or she will generally choose to recommend you for further examination. Pregnant women need to lie on a gynecological examination bed for the examination. After the operation, you need to take the test results issued by the doctor and make an appointment for the curettage and dilation operation. Generally speaking, the operation can be performed on the second day at the earliest and no later than a week. Some good hospitals can also perform the operation on the same day.

Curettage and dilation process 3. Preoperative precautions

If you have decided to undergo a curettage, you must prepare yourself physically and mentally before the operation. Female friends should stop having sex 2-3 days before the curettage, pay attention to keeping warm, and remember to bring relevant items when going to the hospital, such as coats, toilet paper and sanitary napkins. If a female friend is undergoing painless curettage, she should be careful not to eat or drink before the operation.

Curettage process IV: surgery

1. Body position: lithotomy position.

2. Disinfection: Routinely rinse and disinfect the vulva and vagina.

3. Uterine exploration: Use cervical clamp to fix the upper lip of the cervix. Send the probe to the bottom of the uterus along the direction of the uterine body to understand the size of the uterus.

4. Dilate the cervix: Use a cervical dilator to dilate the cervical canal until it can pass through the uterine cavity aspirator.

5. Uterine curettage: In the absence of negative pressure, insert the intrauterine suction device into the uterine cavity. Then maintain negative pressure and perform repeated scraping and suction. The whole process should be gentle. If the suction head is blocked by tissue during suction, the tissue should be quickly removed before continuing suction. If there are no conditions for suction, curettage can be performed.

The above is the detailed process of curettage. We hope that through our introduction, everyone can have a clearer understanding of this operation and relieve their tension. Although abortion is the most effective way to solve unwanted pregnancy, it is very harmful to women's health. Therefore, in daily sexual life, both men and women are advised to take preventive measures to avoid greater harm.
