How long does it take to clean the uterus?

The level of pain and the length of the operation for the removal of the uterus are related to the duration of the pregnancy, the size of the fetus, the way the operation is performed and the physical condition of each person. Generally speaking, the procedure is painful and lasts from 10 minutes to 1 hour. During the procedure, when dilating the uterus or scraping the tissue inside the uterine cavity with instruments, the uterus will contract and cause pain in the lower abdomen. If you are particularly afraid of pain or have sensitive nerves, you can choose to have anesthesia, which is usually painless during the operation, but there will still be some pain after the anesthesia medicine has worn off after the operation. The length of time to clear the uterus, depending on the specific situation, there is no exact time, if the clearance surgery is only for incomplete medical abortion, incomplete abortion, less residue, the time is generally very short, about 10 minutes to complete, skilled doctors can be done in about 3 minutes. If the cleansing procedure is due to induction of labor in a large month or residual placenta and membranes after delivery, the procedure will take a little longer. After the operation, you should rest in the hospital for half an hour to one hour and leave the hospital only if there is no special discomfort. It is important to keep warm and avoid getting cold after the operation. Due to the trauma of the endometrium after curettage, there will be vaginal bleeding for 1 week after the operation. If the blood is still not clean for more than 1 week or the amount of blood is greater than the amount of menstruation, you should consult a doctor promptly. Pay attention to keep the perineum clean and dry, change sanitary pads regularly, wash the vulva with water every day, and forbid taking a tub bath and having sex for 1 month after surgery.
