Diagnostic Dilation and Curettage (D/C) :
Diagnostic Dilation and Curettage (D/C), as outlined in Berek & Novak's Gynecology, is a procedure where the cervix is dilated, and tissue is removed from the uterus for diagnostic purposes. This procedure is used to investigate abnormal uterine bleeding, polyps, or fibroids. It helps doctors obtain tissue samples for further examination and diagnosis.
The procedure is usually performed under anesthesia, and post-operative care is important for recovery. Patients should follow their doctor's instructions, avoid heavy activities, and attend follow-up appointments to ensure complete healing. Diagnostic D/C is a valuable tool for identifying and addressing gynecological issues.
