Risk of Infertility after D&C

Dilation and curettage (D&C) is a procedure done by expanding (dilation) the cervix to remove the uterine lining (endometrium) using spoon-shaped instrument called a curet or curette. Generally, the procedure is done to ascertain the causes associated with endometriosis and to treat some uterus problems such as uterine polyps, endometrial hyperplasia, or uterine cancer. Sometimes, a d&c is also recommended to remove tissue after a miscarriage.

Here are the possible risks after d&c surgery that may occur:

• There’s a possibility of heavy bleeding due to perforation in the uterine wall caused by heavy scraped with the curette.

• There’s a chance of getting some infections, the infections maybe serious but can be treated with antibiotics.
• By accident during a d&c, the instrument may tear the uterus causing perforated uterus which is manifested by pain and heavy bleeding.
• A chance of infertility after d&c may emerge as a result of scraping the uterus with too much force that leads to the formation of thick scars in the uterus.
• Irregular menstruation may occur causing a woman to lose a chance to get pregnant again.

Your doctor can do this to:

• Prevent benign or malignant growths such as tumor, polyp, fibroid tissues and others by removing it
• Treatment of heavy bleeding by removing the products of conception (uterine lining tissues, fetus, placenta)
• Prevent further infection
• Clears out the uterus for future pregnancy

Is It Possible To Conceive After D&C?

The tendency of getting pregnant after dilatation and curettage is very high. A D& C procedure minimally affects the fertility of a woman. Unless the uterus have been greatly scarred by the procedure or by grandmultiparity (many childbirth), conception is still possible.
