Is the Qing Palace dangerous?

During an artificial abortion, uterine cleaning is generally required to remove some endometrial tissue in the uterus and avoid serious consequences due to unclean abortion. It is very necessary to perform uterine curettage, but people may not have done this operation before, so they still feel worried and afraid. People don’t know whether it will bring certain risks. Let’s analyze whether uterine curettage is dangerous.

1. Is curettage dangerous?

Curettage is dangerous .

Curettage and dilation refers to a surgery to scrape and collect endometrial tissue in the uterus. It is a common surgery in obstetrics and gynecology and is also one of the methods of artificial abortion. The risk of curettage is very low; however, it still has certain risks and complications. Nowadays, more and more women choose to have an abortion after an unexpected pregnancy. This is a great trauma to women's body and mind. Some women may become infertile for life after having a curettage. Because during the curettage operation, the endometrium is easily injured and inflamed, and menstrual abnormalities may occur. If cervical adhesion occurs after the curettage operation, it will have a great impact on future fertility problems. So, curettage is dangerous.

2. What are the dangers of curettage?

Secondary infection: If the instruments are not completely sterilized, or the surgeon himself does not pay attention to the aseptic process, it may cause intrauterine infection and even continue to spread upward to invade the fallopian tubes and pelvic cavity. In severe cases, it may cause ectopic pregnancy or infertility in the future.

Pain: Failure to use anesthetics, improper dosage of anesthetics, and operating errors can cause women to experience severe pain during and after uterine curettage. The unbearable pain may cause tension, fear, agitation, and struggle, which can easily lead to complications such as uterine perforation, incomplete uterine aspiration, missed aspiration, and abortion syndrome.

Excessive uterine curettage: Doctors who lack clinical experience may easily over-scrape the endometrium during uterine curettage, which can lead to severe damage to the basal layer of the endometrium, thin endometrium, and severe sequelae such as amenorrhea and infertility after surgery.

Uterine perforation: During blind curettage, the doctor relies on experience to perform the operation and cannot accurately determine the location of the residues in the uterine cavity. Uterine perforation is very likely to occur. The more miscarriages there are, the greater the chance of perforation, causing women to lose their fertility forever.

Cervical injury: If you are not careful when dilating the cervix, or the dilation speed is too fast, it may cause cervical injury, which may make miscarriage more likely even if you become pregnant in the future, especially for women who are pregnant for the first time or have not given birth yet.

3. What is painless curettage?

During the dilation and curettage procedure, there will be some pain when the uterus is dilated, but the pain will go away after the procedure. If you are afraid of pain, you can choose painless abortion, that is, painless curettage.

Painless curettage is done by injecting anesthetic into the blood vessels to form intravenous anesthesia, which produces a painless feeling. It is important to note that the damage a woman suffers during the procedure is the same, or even more severe than in a normal abortion. This is because, when there is no pain during the operation, doctors tend to feel at ease and perform the curettage forcefully. Since the curettage is performed without the doctor's sight, he or she can only rely on feeling and experience to determine whether it is completely scraped. It is not easy for the doctor to master this and it may cause more harm. If the scraping is too shallow, it will cause bleeding because it is not scraped thoroughly. If the scraping is too deep, it will inevitably cause excessive scraping and trauma to the endometrium, destroying the uterus's reproductive function. Curettage may also lead to many complications. Intrauterine adhesions and cervical adhesions caused by multiple curettages are relatively common. These complications can cause infertility.

4. How to reduce the harm after curettage

1. Do not take a bath without your doctor's permission, as bathing can sometimes cause infection.

2. Sexual intercourse is prohibited within one month after the operation.

3. You should take care of yourself for 2-3 months after the operation before you can get pregnant, so take contraceptive measures.

4. Clothing should be loose and not too tight.

5. Maintain a regular life. You should rest in bed for 2 to 3 days after the operation. You can get out of bed and move around later. It is forbidden to engage in heavy physical labor within half a month after the abortion.

6. Pay attention to the bleeding. If the bleeding lasts for more than a week and is accompanied by symptoms such as lower abdominal pain and fever, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

7. Pay attention to strengthening nutrition, eat more protein-rich foods and fresh vegetables rich in vitamins, enhance the body's resistance to disease, and promote the early repair of damaged organs.
