Patient's question:
Doctor:Hello. Why do I need a D&C if I'm not pregnant? What's the difference between that and an abortion?
My period is early due to an inflammatory issue, right? The doctor said it's normal menstruation, not erosion of the cervix or elsewhere.
I've taken hemostatic medication, but it doesn't stop the bleeding. What should I do then? Is a D&C too severe?
Could you please provide a detailed answer?
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to provide a complete description of the issue or follow up with further questions. There is no need for a D&C (dilation and curettage) during pregnancy. Even in cases of miscarriage, a D&C is usually sufficient. D&C is typically performed when there is an abnormally thick endometrium or abnormal hyperplasia, but this depends on the specific examination results. If a D&C is not necessary, it should not be performed. For general inflammation, active anti-inflammatory treatment is sufficient, and traditional Chinese medicine can be used to regulate the endocrine system. Pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm and avoid getting cold. Do not eat raw, cold, or irritating foods, especially during bleeding. Eat more blood-boosting and energy-enhancing foods.
