Is miscarriage treated with immediate Dilation and Curettage (D&C)? Can it be done under anesthesia?

Patient's question:

Hello everyone, I went to the hospital for a check-up today and found out that I have a missed miscarriage. The doctor told me to stay in the hospital tomorrow. I want to ask if missed miscarriage means I have to have a D&C right away, and if it's not possible to have a painless procedure? I'm quite afraid of pain.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, you can only have a D&C, not an abortion. The embryo is too large.
