DILATATION AND CURETTAGE IN BANGALORE

Dilatation and Curettage (D&C) in Bangalore at Bangalore Genesis Hospital (BGH)

Dilatation and curettage in Bangalore is available at the Bangalore Genesis Hospital. It is a therapeutic gynecological procedure involving the dilation of the cervix at first. Then, it includes the removal of part of the lining of the uterus or the contents of the uterus by scraping or curettage. A sterile curette, a spoon like medical equipment helps in cleaning the womb completely.

Since it is a delicate procedure, only experienced gynecologists or surgeons perform it. In fact, it is the standard procedure to deal with incomplete miscarriages in many countries. Abortion pills often result in incomplete abortion and to complete such cases, the abortion doctor may perform a D&C. 

Who needs a D&C abortion method?

Dilatation and curettage is commonly performed in the following cases:

• Firstly, it is most commonly used for incomplete abortion with abortion pills.
• Abortion up to 20 weeks. 
• Abnormal uterine bleeding marked by unusually heavy menstrual flow.
• To remove excess uterine lining relating to conditions like Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) or Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD), to remove the uterine extra lining when periods do not come even with medicines.
• Abnormal vaginal bleeding.
• To remove retained products of conception (POC), such as during a miscarriage.

Potential causes for abnormal uterine bleeding necessitating D&C:

• Firstly, it can occur due to hormonal imbalance.
• Second reason for abnormal bleeding can be uterine fibroids or polyps.
• Next, endometrial hyperplasia can also cause bleeding with abnormal pattern.
• Miscarriage is the most common reason and can cause abnormal bleeding if pregnancy products remain in the womb.
• Finally, incomplete abortion is the reason with abortion pills, usually. Also, it is seen more with self-administration of abortion pills because with self-administration, patient may not know if she is even eligible for a medical abortion.

Safe procedures involved in dilatation and curettage at our hospital are:

• General anesthesia or local anesthesia or mild sedation before the procedure.
• An inserted speculum holds open the vaginal walls.
• Tampering rods keep the opening of the uterus stretched.
• Then, the doctor inserts a sterile curette into the uterus to gently scrapes the uterine lining.

Some of the possible risks involved are:

• Rare but the first risk is any reaction to anesthesia. It is preventable if you let your doctor know of any allergies, you know you have and other medical condition you may be suffering.
• Second, infection is a risk. But remember, it is preventable by keeping the hospital premises clean and well-sanitized and using sterile equipment for procedure. 
• The third risk is uterine perforation. This is also preventable by visiting a registered abortion clinic because such hospitals have trained gynecologists to perform abortion precisely. 
• Additionally, intrauterine adhesions are also common with D&C and can lead to complicated future pregnancies.

Patients are advised to abstain from having sex for around two weeks until the wound heals. Nevertheless, most women can return to work a day after the surgery.

Alternative to D&C in Bangalore:

A more precise and advanced abortion method is Dilatation & Evacuation (D&E). It is similar to D&C until cervix dilatation. Following dilatation, rather than using a sharp curette, the abortion doctor uses gentle suction to suck the womb contents and remove them. Also, it is a World Health Organization (WHO) recommended abortion method for terminating late-term pregnancies. 

Bangalore Genesis Hospital utilizes this advanced approach for performing abortions between 12-20 weeks. This reduces the risk of uterine perforation as well as adhesions. Hence, it’s better and advanced than D&C.
