How long does it take to have a curettage?

Abortion surgery by curettage and dilatation usually takes 10-15 minutes. The key is whether you choose a painless abortion surgery or a general abortion surgery. If it is a painless abortion surgery, it will take a little longer, because the painless abortion surgery still requires the anesthesiologist to inject anesthetics into the patient, and the abortion surgery can only be performed after the anesthetics take effect. After the abortion surgery, it is necessary to wait for the patient to wake up, and the next one can be performed after he wakes up, so it takes a longer time. The general abortion operation takes a relatively short time, provided that the patient is more cooperative and cannot struggle or run around. Because there is a risk of uterine perforation during the struggle and running around, it will take longer. If the patient is afraid of pain and cannot cooperate well, it is recommended to choose painless abortion surgery.

Four common problems after curettage:

1. Pay attention to rest and improve nutrition. After the curettage, you should rest in bed for 2 to 3 days, then you can get out of bed and move around, and gradually increase your activity level. Do not do heavy physical work within half a month after the curettage and avoid touching cold water. After curettage, the uterus needs about a month to return to normal size. Therefore, we should pay attention to increasing nutrition, taking in a certain amount of protein, enhancing the body's resistance to disease, and promoting the early repair of injured organs. After curettage, you should eat more fish, meat, eggs, beans, protein-rich foods, and fruits rich in vitamins to speed up the body's recovery.

2. Maintain a clean and hygienic environment of the vulva and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse. After curettage, the cervix has not yet closed, and the uterine wall also has a repair process. During this period, you should pay attention to maintaining daily cleanliness of the vulva. You don't need to take a sitz bath within half a month after the operation to prevent unclean water from entering the vagina, causing bacterial erosion and infection. Do not have sex within one month after curettage.

3. Observe the bleeding situation and resolutely prevent the condition from worsening. If vaginal bleeding after curettage lasts for more than one week, and is accompanied by lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid secretions with odor, etc., you should go to the hospital for follow-up treatment in time.

4. Pay attention to contraceptive measures to prevent pregnancy again. After curettage, the functions of the uterus, ovaries and uterus gradually recovered, and the uterus and ovaries ovulated on time. If you don't persist in taking good contraceptive measures, you will get pregnant again soon. Some women become pregnant again in the same month after having an abortion, which has a greater impact on the human body. Therefore, a reliable contraceptive method should be chosen. Abortion should only be a rescue surgery as a last resort after accidental pregnancy. Abortion must not be used as a countermeasure to contraceptive surgery to ensure the physical and mental health of women.
