Patient's question:
Is an abortion necessarily performed using a D&C procedure?Doctor's answer:
Hello, some conditions can be resolved with medication, but if it's not completely cleared, there are two reasons why a D&C (dilation and curettage) might be necessary: one is to ensure thorough removal, and the other is that if it's not done carefully, it could lead to easier miscarriage in future pregnancies. Therefore, a D&C is required after an abortion. If you choose to have an abortion, it's crucial to go to a reputable hospital, preferably a Grade A hospital, considering factors like hospital equipment, expert qualifications, etc. This is because abortion can cause significant damage to a woman's body, potentially leading to infertility.
