Patient's question:
After I got married, I couldn't get pregnant for a long time. Recently, I found out that I was pregnant, but unfortunately, due to inadequate care, I had a natural miscarriage. After the miscarriage, someone told me that it's necessary to have a uterine clearance procedure after a natural miscarriage, otherwise it's not good for the body. I'm not very familiar with this. Doctor, is it necessary to have a uterine clearance procedure after a natural miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
After another natural miscarriage, if a D&C (dilation and curettage) is necessary, it should be based on the severity of the natural miscarriage. After the natural miscarriage, you need to have a hospital re-examination. If there are residual tissues in the uterus, this situation requires treatment based on the size of the residual tissues. Generally, if the residual tissues are larger than two centimeters, surgery is needed for a D&C. If the residual tissues in the uterus are less than two centimeters, a D&C is not necessary.
