Does curettage cause great harm to the uterus?

Uterine curettage is an increasingly common surgery nowadays and is the surgery that is chosen when medical abortion is incomplete or the embryo stops developing. Many people want to know whether curettage can cause serious damage to a woman's uterus. In fact, curettage can cause great damage to the uterus. In severe cases, it can also make it difficult for women to conceive. Below, I will introduce you to the relevant knowledge of curettage in detail!

1. Does curettage cause serious damage to the uterus?

Curettage is very harmful to the uterus because it damages the endometrium and affects the body's endocrine system. Although the B-ultrasound shows that the uterus is normal, it has a certain impact on the uterine function and endocrine function. In the first few months after the curettage, there will be irregular menstruation and more or less menstrual flow. In severe cases, it can have a great impact on conception.

2. Complications of curettage.

1. Uterine perforation is a very serious complication of uterine curettage. Patients often suffer from bleeding, infection or other organ damage, which can be life-threatening in severe cases. If there are multiple perforations in the uterus, and the perforations are very large, or there is an infection, it will be difficult to repair, which may affect future pregnancies.

2. Curettage requires the use of instruments to enter the cervix and then enter the uterine cavity to perform the operation. At this time, the cervix needs to be dilated. However, for women who have not given birth, the cervical tissue is very tough and lacerations may occur during the operation.

3. Uterine bleeding must be stopped, which requires the contraction of the uterus. Excessive bleeding will cause poor uterine contraction, and the embryo, fetus and appendages will not be completely scraped off, so there will be some residue, which will affect the contraction of the uterus. Curettage requires entering the uterine cavity through the vagina. The bacteria in the vagina will also be brought into the uterine cavity, causing infection in women. Because the pregnant uterus becomes larger and softer, incomplete abortion can lead to local tissue organization, making uterine cavity operation very difficult and easily resulting in uterine cavity residues.

3. Precautions after uterine curettage

Curettage is a second miscarriage, so the body is very weak after the procedure and it takes some time for the body to recover. You must take good care of your body after the operation, pay more attention to rest, and don't let your body get cold. You should also pay attention to nutritional supplements in your daily life, and eat foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as lean meat, vegetables and fruits. In addition, sexual intercourse is prohibited within one month after the uterine curettage to avoid infection.
