D&C:

Dilation and curettage is the surgical removal of part of the uterine lining and/or contents of the uterus by scraping and scooping after the cervix has been dilated.

The operation of dilation and curettage (D&C) is used to remove tissue from inside the uterus. Dilation and curettage are procedures used to assess and treat uterine disorders such as excessive bleeding, as well as to clean the uterine lining following a miscarriage or abortion.

The most frequent procedure of early abortion is a D&C (Dilation and Curretage). This approach is straightforward and often regarded as the safest and most practical option to terminate an early pregnancy. A D&C is a common surgery that is regarded safe and has no effect on your capacity to conceive in the future.

Disease Overview

Uterine conditions

When a woman is pregnant, the uterus, also known as the womb, is where the baby develops. Bleeding between cycles or after intercourse could be the first indicator of a uterine condition. Hormones, thyroid issues, fibroids, polyps, cancer, infection, and pregnancy are all possible causes. Treatment is determined by the underlying cause.

Uterine disorders are conditions that affect the uterus or any other portion of your reproductive system. Uterine fibroids, endometriosis, uterine prolapse, and uterine tuberculosis are all frequent uterine issues.

Disease Symptoms:

The following are some of the most prevalent uterine symptoms:

• Inflammation of the uterus
• Vaginal bleeding that is unusual or excessive
• Menstrual cycle irregularity
• Vaginal discharge that is abnormal
• Pelvic, lower abdominal, or rectal discomfort
• Increased urination and menstrual cramping
• During intercourse, there is pain.
• Bleeding after a sexual encounter
• Menstruation that lasts a long time
• Swelling in the abdomen
• Constipation
• Bladder infections that recur
• Fatigue \Fever

Disease Causes:

Uterine Fibroids - Uterine fibroids have no recognised aetiology. Hormones, family history, and pregnancy, for example, can all raise the chance of uterine fibroids.

Endometriosis is caused by diseases such as STIs (sexually transmitted illnesses), TB, and infections caused by common vaginal bacteria.

Uterine prolapse can be caused by a number of factors, including ageing, low oestrogen levels, injured pelvic muscles or tissues, obesity, persistent constipation, and chronic cough.

Sexual interaction with an infected person can cause uterine tuberculosis.

Disease Diagnosis:

Your doctor will take a thorough medical and family history before diagnosing a uterine condition. To check for any anomalies, a vaginal exam may be conducted. To help discover the origin of the uterine problem, your doctor may offer some laboratory procedures, such as a PAP smear test. Imaging tests like X-rays, CT scans, sonograms, and MRIs may be ordered.

Disease Treatment:

Uterine issues may be addressed with a mix of medicine (including hormones), exercises and surgery such as hysterectomy, myomectomy. 'Watchful waiting' may be recommended in specific cases. This means you won't get any treatment, but you'll have to see your doctor on a frequent basis to maintain track of your illness and symptoms.
