Miscarriage and Child Loss:use of D & C
2013-05-09
Name: Roli



Dilation and curettage is used to diagnose or treat various uterine conditions — such as heavy bleeding — or to clear the uterine lining after a miscarriage or abortion. A D&C may be used to either diagnose or treat a uterine condition. In a diagnostic D&C, your doctor takes a sample of the tissue that lines your uterus (the endometrium) so tests can be performed on it.

Subject:  Use of D & C



It is used in detecting conditions such as Uterine cancer,Uterine polyps, Endometrial hyperplasia. In a therapeutic D&C, your doctor removes the contents of your uterus. A D&C is often performed along with another procedure called a hysteroscopy. In a hysteroscopy, a slim instrument with a light and camera on the end is inserted into your uterus. This allows your doctor to see your endometrium on a screen, to take samples of any areas that look abnormal, and to make sure that no small polyps are missed.

RE:Coping With a Miscarriage
Infertility is a very hard thing to hit a woman. I can't imagine what it must be like. My sister went through it. She was told that she was infertile by her doctor. Her husband was a doctor too, but besides all the knowledge they could do nothing. Then they tried going for IVF. At first they were resistant, they were double minded. But then my sister went to various fertil... - Lillian [View Message]

If th... - Irene Camron [View Message]

Hi there. I hope you are doing fine. I am so sorry to hear your story. Miscarriage can be very difficult to deal with. I had two miscarriages myself. And my world had just shattered. I was so devastated. But then my doctor told me to go for IVF. I wasn't on board with it, but my husband thought it was the right decision. So, after 2 tries i was finally pregnant. I am curre... - Olivia [View Message]
