Patient's question:
Throughout May, I experienced brown discharge with a foul odor in my vagina. Onset time and cause: It has been more than two months so far. Treatment history: I had a uterine clearance, but now there is brown discharge again, and abdominal pain also accompanies it. Help needed: What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Firstly, there are still some fundamental differences between D&C (Dilation and Curettage) surgery and induced abortion surgery. Induced abortion surgery only requires cleaning the area where the embryo is implanted, while D&C surgery involves a comprehensive cleaning of the uterus, including scraping the uterine lining. As for the question of whether D&C surgery is dangerous, there is no doubt that if performed improperly, it can also pose risks.D&C surgery is relatively dangerous compared to other procedures. If performed improperly, it may lead to severe damage to the uterine cavity, potentially causing serious complications such as intrauterine adhesions or cervical adhesions, which can affect a woman's future fertility. Additionally, if the endometrium is severely damaged due to repeated scraping, it can hinder the implantation of a fertilized egg, thereby impacting future fertility.
