What is a D&C?

A dilation and curettage (D&C) is an outpatient surgical procedure performed to remove tissue from the uterus. In most cases, a D&C is done to diagnose and treat certain uterine conditions — such as heavy bleeding — or to clear the uterine lining after a miscarriage or abortion.

There are several types of D&Cs, including:

• Dilatation – This type of D&C involves widening (dilating) your cervix so that the surgeon can insert instruments inside your uterus. The wider opening makes it easier for them to see what’s wrong with you and do whatever treatment they need. You may have some cramping during this part of the surgery because your cervix is dilated.
• Curettage – During curettage, doctors insert a small tube-like instrument called a curette into your vagina while they’re looking through one end with magnification lenses on their face mask; this allows them to scrape out any abnormal tissue in your uterus with the tip of the curette’s blade. This will usually take about 10 minutes once you’ve been put under general anaesthesia so that there aren’t any complications due to pain while operating in such proximity to vital organs like kidneys and bladder which could be damaged if exposed directly through surgical cuts made across those areas during surgery.”

Factors that affect the cost of Dilation and curettage (D&C) in Namibia

• Most doctors charge on a per-minute basis. This means that they will bill you for every minute they spend performing your surgery or procedure.
