Curettage of the uterine cavity is one of the most common gynecological procedures, which has both diagnostic and therapeutic significance. It is performed mainly in cases of irregular or heavy bleeding, suspicion of polyps, adhesions or unclear sonographic findings.
At Chirkoz Clinic, we provide professional and safe uterine curettage with careful preoperative and postoperative care.
When is curettage necessary?
- Irregular bleeding outside the menstrual cycle
- Excessively heavy menstruation
- Long-lasting bleeding
- Cervical or endometrial polyps
- Unclear ultrasound findings
- Suspicion of precancerous or cancerous changes
Curettage serves to remove and analyze the endometrium, thereby helping to detect possible pathological changes and simultaneously stop bleeding from pathologically changed mucosa.
How is curettage performed?
- The procedure is performed under general anesthesia
- It lasts approximately 15 minutes
- The patient arrives fasting (minimum 6 hours before the procedure - no eating, drinking, smoking)
- After the procedure discharge home after approximately 2 hours
After the procedure
- Light bleeding or "spotting" may persist for 7-14 days
- Sexual intercourse and bathing are not recommended for at least 14 days
- Shower hygiene and cotton underwear are appropriate
- In case of heavy bleeding, fever, foul-smelling discharge or pain - contact your doctor
Risks and complications
Curettage is a low-risk procedure, but like any procedure, it may have complications. The most serious is perforation of the uterine wall, which in rare cases may require conventional surgery. Later, uterine inflammation may develop - therefore it is important to follow the doctor's instructions and attend follow-up appointments.
