Does it hurt to have a curettage? How many minutes does it take?

People may get pregnant unexpectedly after contraceptive failure. If they do not want the child, they need to have an abortion. Artificial abortion is required within 12 weeks of pregnancy, which is divided into medical abortion and surgical abortion. People with incomplete medical abortion also need to undergo curettage. Curettage will damage women's health to a certain extent and cause infection, irregular menstruation, infertility or habitual abortion. For your own health, do not undergo curettage multiple times.

We know that the subjects of uterine curettage surgery are mostly patients who have not had a clean medical abortion or an incomplete artificial abortion. They use uterine curettage as a last resort to further remove the tissue remaining in the uterus and help repair the uterus. I think female friends who have experienced medical abortion and artificial abortion should know how painful they are, right? So how painful is uterine curettage? Imagine what it would feel like to scrape an unhealed wound again? So I can tell you for sure here that uterine curettage is more painful than medical abortion and artificial abortion, but it will not last long. As long as the patient cooperates well, it usually takes three to five minutes to complete.

Let’s take a look at the process of uterine curettage.

In fact, uterine curettage surgery is very simple and usually only has two steps. The first step is to dilate the cervix. After expanding to the required size, the second step is to use a scraper to reach into the uterine cavity to scrape out the remaining tissue. This step is entirely based on experience. You need to be careful, otherwise it is easy to hurt the uterus. The operation is short but very painful. However, with the continuous improvement of medical standards, painless uterine curettage can now be chosen. Therefore, patients who are afraid of pain can consider painless uterine curettage.

In short, as a remedial measure, uterine curettage surgery does not take long. But it is a secondary injury to the patient. Therefore, uterine curettage surgery is very painful. Although the entire operation only takes a few minutes and the process is relatively simple, it requires very high operating techniques. Because any carelessness can cause damage to the uterus. Therefore, it is recommended that patients go to a regular hospital for this operation.
