Is hysteroscopic curettage harmful?

The harm of hysteroscopic curettage is less than that of blindly following the trend. Hysteroscopic curettage is a relatively good surgical treatment and the only visual surgical treatment so far. It does not require curettage, so it is definitely less harmful to the body than traditional abortion and will not be as unbearably painful as traditional curettage. But it is a surgery after all, so you should pay attention to diet adjustment after the operation, eat some liquid food first, and then you can eat normally the next day. It is advisable to eat more protein-rich foods such as lean meat and eggs, which are beneficial to wound healing. Avoid spicy food and irritating food. Female friends who like to drink a lot of coffee should note that it is not suitable to drink freshly ground coffee after surgery. Therefore, the harm of hysteroscopic curettage is less than that of blindly following the trend.

What is hysteroscopic curettage?

Hysteroscopic surgery refers to minimally invasive surgery performed using a hysteroscope. A hysteroscope is an optical device used for observation, diagnosis and treatment of the uterus. Hysteroscopy can be divided into diagnostic and surgical types, and can be divided into soft and hard types. The flexible diagnostic hysteroscope is made of high-quality optical fiber. It has a small tube diameter and can be bent at will. It is very easy to observe and diagnose the entire uterus. The inspection process is quick (about 2 to 5 minutes), painless, and does not hurt the uterus. Hysteroscopy is a technical device for diagnosing and treating diseases in the uterus. It can clearly observe various changes in the uterine cavity and make a clear diagnosis. The use of hysteroscopic technology can immediately detect uterine lesions, accurately locate and collect lesion tissues for reexamination, and make accurate, timely, comprehensive and intuitive diagnosis, which can detect cancer in the early stage; bilateral fallopian tube catheterization, check the patency of bilateral fallopian tubes, and dredge blockages in the interstitial part of the fallopian tubes, accurately and effectively; hysteroscopic surgery can be used to remove the uterine wall, cervical fibroids, uterine polyps, uterine septum, uterine adhesions and foreign bodies, with good results, no laparotomy, less trauma, less bleeding, less pain and faster recovery.

Harm of hysteroscopic curettage

1. Damage: It is mostly related to rough operation, which can cause cervical tear, uterine perforation, bilateral fallopian tube false passages, bilateral fallopian tube rupture, etc.

2. Bleeding: Hysteroscopic surgery will not cause severe bleeding. If there is excessive bleeding, the underlying cause should be treated.

3. Infection: rare, mostly due to a history of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, the scope of application should be strictly controlled.

4. Complications of CO2 uterine distension: Prolonged operation time and excessive uterine cavity perfusion may cause CO2 gas embolism. The operation should be terminated immediately, oxygen should be given, and dexamethasone should be injected intravenously.

5. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular syndrome: dilation of the cervix and expansion of the uterine cavity can cause increased sympathetic nerve support, which is similar to what occurs during curettage of abortion surgery.
