When Is a Curette Needed?

Reasons for D&C
A history of abnormal menstrual bleeding, such as heavy bleeding (menorrhagia), bleeding between periods or bleeding after menopause. Investigation of uterine infection. Incomplete abortion (miscarriage) Surgical abortion when combined with suction.

How do you know if you need a D&C?

You may need a D&C procedure if you had a miscarriage or abortion. Your healthcare provider can use a D&C and hysteroscopy to diagnose unexplained bleeding. A D&C is an outpatient procedure. You may have some mild cramping and bleeding for a few days after a D&C.

Why do you need a curette?

Dilation and curettage (D&C) is a procedure to remove tissue from inside your uterus. Health care providers perform dilation and curettage to diagnose and treat certain uterine conditions — such as heavy bleeding — or to clear the uterine lining after a miscarriage or abortion.
