Is uterine curettage surgery fast?

Curettage also refers to dilation and curettage, which is the process of scraping the uterus. Curettage and dilation is also considered a part of abortion surgery. It is mainly performed on patients whose abortion was not complete and who still have test tube embryos remaining in the uterus. Curettage and dilation are more harmful to women's uterus than abortion, and may also cause complications such as postoperative infection and postoperative bleeding, so curettage should not be used casually.

Curettage also refers to scraping the uterus, which is both a traditional abortion surgery and a preventive measure when miscarriage is not complete. Uterine curettage is a surgical treatment that is only available when the pregnancy is less than three months. If the pregnancy is more than three months, other surgical treatment methods are needed. Although curettage is performed under sterile conditions, it still carries a high risk of postoperative infection, postoperative bleeding and other complications.

In most cases, curettage and dilatation surgery requires intravenous anesthesia for the patient. The anesthesia waiting time is 30 minutes, and the time for curettage surgery is 5-6 minutes, so the total operation time is about 40 minutes. Therefore, curettage and dilatation surgery is a small surgery. The operation is divided into two steps. The first step is to dilate the cervix to its maximum size so that the cervical fossa can be inserted into the uterus. The second step is to insert the uterus key deep into the uterus and scrape out the test tube embryo. B-ultrasound examination must be performed before performing curettage and dilation to avoid accidents during the operation. Because curettage has great requirements on the doctor's experience, skills and the safety level of the equipment, if the operation is not done properly or too much force is used, it may cause internal bleeding and infertility in the patient. Therefore, curettage should be performed in a reliable hospital.

Careful medical care must be provided after the curettage to ensure that the patient receives adequate care. First of all, in order to prevent postoperative infection, antiviral drugs should be injected or the patient should take anti-inflammatory tablets after the operation. The medication can be stopped after the condition stabilizes after 2-3 days. Rest in bed as much as possible after the operation, avoid excessively strenuous exercise, and it is best not to have sexual intercourse within two months. The nutrition of diet should be improved, and more foods with high protein content, such as milk, soybeans, etc.
