What should I pay attention to when scraping the endometrium?

Endometrial scraping is a common procedure. Generally, this type of surgery is mainly used to treat diseases such as endometrial hyperplasia. However, this type of curettage treatment is very painful and will damage the physiological structure inside the uterus. The endometrium is generally divided into three layers. Curettage treatment will cause damage to the endometrium and sometimes it will fall off. Nowadays, abortion surgery is also performed through curettage. So what should we pay attention to when scraping the endometrium?

1. After the curettage, you need to rest in the hospital for half an hour to one hour. You can leave the hospital only if you do not feel any special discomfort.

2. Abdominal pain occurs due to uterine contraction after the operation, which usually subsides in about half an hour to an hour. If you experience severe abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding with large blood clots, and high fever after a few hours or days, please go to the hospital immediately.

3. Due to the trauma left on the endometrium after curettage, there will be vaginal bleeding within two weeks after the operation. Generally, the amount of blood is less than or similar to the menstrual amount, which is normal. If the bleeding has not stopped for more than two weeks or the amount of blood exceeds the menstrual volume, please go to the hospital immediately.

4. Due to the pain stimulation during the operation, you may sweat a lot. Therefore, after the operation, you should pay attention to keeping warm, avoid wind and cold, prevent external infection, and avoid excessive use of air conditioning in midsummer.

5. Keep the perineum clean and dry, and change sanitary napkins frequently. Wash the vulva with clean water every night and dry it with a clean and dry towel. Never use your hands to clean your vagina, and do not use any medicated lotions to rinse your vagina.

Because scraping the endometrium is a painful process and may be very harmful to women, and sometimes even lead to lifelong diseases, so whether it is a painless abortion or endometrial scraping to treat diseases such as endometrial hyperplasia, you must be cautious and take good care after the operation.
