Presentation
Her child was 14 months old at the time of her presentation to our center. Her husband divorced her a year prior to her presentation when the child was 2 months old. The husband was not responsible for the current pregnancy. [casereports.in]
CONCLUSION(S): Dilatation and curettage is an inadequate diagnostic and therapeutic tool for all uterine disorders; this technique missed 62.5% of major intrauterine disorders, and all endometrial disorders were still present in the removed uterus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Case Presentation A D&C was performed on a 36-year-old 2 parous woman because of missed abortion at 9 weeks of gestation. She had undergone lower segment cesarean section twice. [hindawi.com]

Introduction Dilatation and Curettage (D&C) is a minor surgical procedure to remove tissue from the endometrium, the lining of the womb. [baddowhospital.co.uk]
Dilatation and curettage, also called as D&C, is a common surgical procedure done on women to scrape and collect the tissue from inside the uterus. The cervical passage in a women leads to the uterus. [medindia.net]

- Fever
No significant statistical difference was recognized between the study groups regarding the occurrence of cervical lacerations, fever or the rate of inadequate intrauterine sampling (p > 0.05). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Advise the woman to watch for symptoms and signs requiring immediate attention: - prolonged cramping (more than a few days); - prolonged bleeding (more than 2 weeks); - bleeding more than normal menstrual bleeding; - severe or increased pain; - fever, [hetv.org]
If there are any signs of infection such as fever, pain or discharge consult the doctor immediately. [medindia.net]
- Asymptomatic
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the need for fractional dilatation and curettage following excision of symptomatic versus asymptomatic cervical polyps. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
They also recommend that symptomatic patients warrant hysteroscopy and curettage, whereas asymptomatic patients warrant only Pipelle endometrial sampling. [obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
Goldstein and colleagues18 found such a pencil line in 11 of 28 (39%) women with postmenopausal bleeding, and Varner and associates19 in 60 of 80 (75%) women, of whom 65 were asymptomatic. [glowm.com]
- Inflammation
Postoperatively, the intraocular inflammation resolved gradually. Six months after the second vitrectomy, the best-corrected visual acuity in the right eye was 20/25. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In some cases, the patient will develop infection, which may be indicated by chills, fever, and inflammation of the vagina or the cervix. [docdoc.com.sg]
It works to heal any infection in the reproductive system, while also reducing pain and inflammation from foreign tissue growth. Reduction in inflammation may help to prevent scar tissue and adhesion. [natural-fertility-info.com]

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of dexamethasone administered intravenously at three different doses (4 mg, 8 mg, 16 mg) for the prevention of nausea and vomiting after dilatation and curettage. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The side effects include nausea, sometimes a fever, and diarrhea. This style of abortion can be taken in the privacy of your own home. There is no anesthesia, either, and the success rate is 95 percent when done before nine weeks. [checkpregnancy.com]

For example, a postmenopausal woman who has vaginal bleeding may be tested for signs of endometrial cancer. How Well It Works D&C usually stops heavy menstrual bleeding. The stop in bleeding may be temporary. [healthy.kaiserpermanente.org]
STUDY DESIGN: A prospective study was carried out on 467 women who were referred for treatment of symptomatic (accompanied by vaginal bleeding or discharge) or asymptomatic cervical polyps, from January 1, 1990 to December 31, 1992. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This method should not be confused with routine D&C’s done for reasons other than undesired pregnancy (to treat abnormal uterine bleeding, dysmenorrhea, etc.). Printed with permission from National Right to Life ( www.nrlc.org ). [catholicnewsagency.com]
Dilation may be done alone for problems of cervical stenosis (scarring and/or narrowing of the cervical os), for placing of IUDs, or for dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps) due to a narrowed cervical canal. [link.springer.com]

To determine the cause of severe menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea) or abnormal vaginal blood clots. Treatment of cervical stenosis – the passageway through the cervix (from the vagina to the main body of the uterus) may be abnormally narrow or closed. [healthhype.com]
Workup
AIM: A biopsy is often taken as part of the preoperative workup, regardless of the indication for hysterectomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Surgical treatment should be proposed only for diagnosis remaining uncertain after complete workup, significant and related symptoms or exceptionally when exists concern with malignancy. [endoscopy-campus.com]
Circumstances in which this may be necessary include molar pregnancy or to aid in the workup of patients with habitual miscarriage. However, in cases of elective terminations or when products of conception are obvious, this step may be omitted. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment
Treatment responses were evaluated every 3 months. EM aspiration biopsy was conducted after LNG-IUS removal followed D&C. The tissue samples were histologically compared. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
NICE guidance states that D&C should not be used as a therapeutic treatment. [scarboroughryedaleccg.nhs.uk]

CONCLUSIONS: While neither symptomatic nor asymptomatic cervical polyps are an indication for dilatation and curettage (following excision) in women in their reproductive years, and do not affect their management or prognosis, this is not the case in [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology
The sensitivity of diagnosing the etiology of AUB with D&C was 65%, compared to a sensitivity of 98% with hysteroscopy with directed biopsy. [mdedge.com]
AIM: The aim of this study was to clarify the role of dilatation and curettage (D&C) performed for spontaneous or induced abortion in the etiology of endometrial thinning. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Conclusions: according to the current knowledge on the etiology of AUB, this study showed that traditional diagnostic D&C has low accuracy in the evaluation of AUB and a cost/benefit relation incompatible with current medicine. [scielo.br]

Epidemiology United States data The prevalence of hepatic cystadenomas is low, with fewer than 200 cases reported in the literature. These tumors account for a very small number of all hepatic tumors. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology Hepatic cystadenomas appear as multilocular (rarely unilocular) cystic lesions that are surrounded by a smooth and thick fibrous capsule. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Since the pathophysiological mechanism behind D&C and subsequent preterm birth remains unclear, it is unsure whether cervical shortening will occur prior to preterm birth. [humrep.oxfordjournals.org]
Prevention
Also known as a D & C procedure, dilation and curettage is the procedure used to remove the fetus after a miscarriage, stop the bleeding, and prevent infection in the mother. [pregnancycorner.com]
