Procedure for d&c operation
d&c is regarded as a relatively minor procedure and can be done as day surgery, but a general anaesthetic is usually given. the typical d&c procedure includes the following steps:
once you are anaesthetised, your uterus is examined to determine its size and position.
a general inspection of the vulva and walls of the vagina is performed.
a speculum is inserted, so the walls of the vagina can be seen.
the cervix is gently widened using surgical dilators, which allows samples to be taken from the lining of the uterus.
the samples are sent to the laboratory for investigation.
