What preparations do you need to make before a curettage? How long does a curettage take?

The main purpose of curettage is to further remove the tissues remaining in the uterus. It is usually used in cases of incomplete medical abortion or incomplete spontaneous abortion. If anesthesia is not given, it will be painful. However, the operation time is generally not long. With the cooperation of the patient, it can be completed in about 5-10 minutes. Curettage is the process of inserting surgical instruments deep into the uterine cavity and scraping out the tissues adhering to the uterine cavity.

The second step is to use surgical instruments to reach into the uterine cavity to scrape the remaining tissue. Since the remaining tissue is adhered to the endometrium, the patient will feel pain during the scraping process. Of course, the degree of pain varies from person to person, and most patients can bear it. If some women are afraid of pain, they can choose to do a painless curettage, because the painless curettage uses anesthetic drugs, so the patient does not feel pain during the operation, and when the patient wakes up, the operation is over.

Although uterine curettage is painful, it can effectively remove residual tissue in the uterine cavity and make the body recover faster, so it is a must. Of course, it is also necessary to treat inflammation and prevent infection after surgery.
