What is gynecological curettage?

Gynecological curettage is a common method of artificial abortion in medicine. When a woman's uterus has endometrial thickening or uterine problems, she also needs to undergo a curettage.

After the curettage, you need to pay attention to recuperation and eat some nutritious and nourishing foods appropriately.

Curettage is the most commonly used method for early induced abortion. During the operation, the patient takes the lithotomy position, the vulva and vagina are routinely disinfected, and the upper lip of the cervix is ​​fixed with a cervical clamp. First, use the probe to be sent along the uterine cavity to the bottom of the uterus to understand the size and curvature of the uterus, dilate the cervix, send the hysteroscope into the uterine cavity without negative pressure, and then maintain negative pressure for repeated scraping and suction. Be gentle throughout the whole process.

If tissue blockage is encountered during suction, quickly remove the tissue and then continue suctioning. Pay special attention to the uterine corners and fundus on both sides during suction. If you feel that the uterine wall has become rough and bloody foam appears in the suction bottle, and the uterus has shrunk significantly during examination, it means that the uterus has been emptied and the operation can be ended. After the operation, the scrapings will be sent to pathology, antibiotics will be taken orally to prevent infection, and sexual intercourse will be prohibited for one month.

When endometrial thickening occurs or when a miscarriage is incomplete, a curettage is required. This is a common minor operation. During this operation, the cervix needs to be dilated to a large enough size first, and then the doctor will use a curette to scrape off the thickened endometrium or embryo in the uterus. The pain during uterine curettage is relatively small, and now it can be done painlessly, and this minor operation can be completed while the patient is sleeping.
