What is Dilation and Curettage?

Dilation and curettage (D&C) is a minor surgical procedure to remove tissue from the uterus. You may need this procedure if you have unexplained bleeding between your periods or if you have just given birth and placental tissues remain in the uterus. D&C is also used to remove pregnancy tissue remaining due to miscarriage. D&C can be done in the doctor's office or in a hospital. After the cervix is opened, the tissue in the uterus is removed with a suction tube or other special tools.

What is Obstetrics & Gynecology?

Early diagnosis in women's diseases (obstetrics) is having great importance in terms of quality and duration of life. However, some serious symptoms of illness can be overlooked by women. However, symptoms such as irregular menstrual bleeding, abdominal swelling, painful menstrual period may be signs of various diseases. Women should follow the changes they experience and consult a specialist in unusual situations. If you are of fertile age and a week or more has passed before an expected menstrual cycle begins, you may be pregnant. However, this symptom can be misleading if you have an irregular menstrual cycle. The health of women's reproductive organs, the problems and diseases that may arise related to it are directly within the scope of a gynecology.
