What is the whole process of endometrial curettage?

The health of the endometrium is very important for women, especially those who want to have children. If the endometrium is thick, it is necessary to go to the hospital for curettage in time. However, most people do not have a particularly good understanding of the process of endometrial curettage, especially those who are sensitive to pain. When doing curettage, they worry that it will be particularly painful. If you can understand the process of curettage in advance, you can prepare in advance.

Endometrial curettage and scraping

If a woman has thickened endometrium, doctors will recommend the use of curettage. There are generally three types of curettage. The first is a diagnostic curettage, which is suitable for endocrine abnormalities. It requires understanding the changes in the endometrium and the response to sex hormones, whether ovulation occurs, whether there is tuberculosis, etc. Next is a type of diagnostic curettage with segmented curettage, which means that the uterus is curettaged first, and the objects scraped out of the uterine cavity are sent for pathological testing. It is only needed for cervical cancer, endometrial cancer and other uterine malignant tumors. The last type is suction curettage, which is mainly used to suck out the contents of the uterine cavity with a negative pressure catheter.

Although medication can be used to reduce pain during endometrial curettage, pain will still occur after the effect of the medication wears off. Therefore, pain is a problem that cannot be avoided, but in order to make our bodies healthier, it is necessary to use endometrial curettage for treatment appropriately.

Diagnostic curettage is painful. Although it is short, the pain is very obvious. For women who have not given birth, surgical curettage is generally not recommended to avoid damaging the endometrium and causing infertility. In this case, it is better to take some progesterone drugs to solve the endometrial problem. However, in case of endometrial thickening, diagnostic curettage surgery must be used to solve the problem. If women are afraid of pain, they can undergo painless surgery. Anesthesia must be injected before painless surgery. This is also for the safety of women undergoing surgery. It is a very necessary process.
