Patient's question:
After getting married for a year, I got pregnant, but last week I had a miscarriage due to an accident. Do you need to have a D&C (dilation and curettage) after a natural miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
After a natural miscarriage, it is necessary to go to the hospital for an examination. If the uterine cavity is completely clean, there is no need for a D&C procedure. If there are residual tissue or excessive residual blood in the uterine cavity, a D&C surgery may be required.If the amount of residual tissue is not significant, medication treatment can be considered, followed by periodic follow-up examinations. If the residual tissue is substantial, it is recommended to undergo a D&C surgery. Otherwise, it may lead to anemia or intrauterine infections. Therefore, hygiene and safety should be paid attention to.
