Does uterine curettage require hospitalization?

Curettage generally does not require hospitalization. Curettage refers to a surgery to scrape and collect endometrial tissue in the uterus. It is a common surgery in obstetrics and gynecology and is also one of the methods of artificial abortion. Curettage has very few risks, and patients can normally resume normal activities once they feel well enough (usually the same day).

Is there bleeding after uterine curettage?

Generally, after a uterine curettage, the bleeding will stop in three days at most. Usually, it will be clean on the second day. Because the abortion with medicine is not clean, there will always be bleeding and it won’t stop, and it’s only a little bit. Therefore, after uterine cleaning, the patient will generally be clean the next day. Uterine cleaning has a great impact on the body and the uterus. It may cause the thinning of the uterine wall or cause scars, which will affect the implantation of the next fertilized egg. It is best done under hysteroscopy.

You should rest for half a year after the operation, and it is recommended to have a follow-up examination after about one year. It is normal for the amount of bleeding after curettage to be small and the bleeding time to not exceed 7 days, which means that the curettage was very successful. After curettage, you can take some anti-inflammatory medicine, do not eat spicy food, eat more nutritious food, and pay more attention to your body.
