Patient's question:
Had a miscarriage without any warning signs. Should I have a D&C (dilation and curettage) after a natural miscarriage? Is a D&C good or bad for the uterus?Doctor's answer:
Is it necessary to have a uterine clearance after a natural miscarriage, which determines whether the miscarriage is clean? If the miscarriage is clean and there are no residual tissues in the uterus, there is no need for uterine clearance. If it is not completely expelled, uterine clearance becomes unavoidable. Uterine clearance is a surgical procedure, which can cause some damage to the uterus. However, the damage is not significant, so there is no need to worry too much. After the surgery, focus on rest and recovery to enhance recovery. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
