Diagnostic curettage in women is mainly done by scraping the endometrium and the uterine cavity to take biopsies and make a pathologic diagnosis of the lesions associated with the occupancy of the uterine cavity. There may be sequelae such as infection, postoperative bleeding or infertility.
1. Before diagnostic curettage, there may be localized infection in the patient’s uterus, and if the aseptic operation is not strictly followed during the curettage process, it may lead to the spread of infection, which may cause the occurrence of uterine cavity infection.
2. Diagnostic curettage may cause damage to the endometrium and uterine wall, which requires some time for recovery, and therefore irregular vaginal bleeding may occur during the recovery period.
3. If the endometrium is damaged by improper operation during diagnostic curettage, it is easy to cause uterine adhesion and infertility. In addition, if bacterial infection occurs after the operation, leading to inflammation in the pelvis, uterus or vagina, causing adhesions in the fallopian tubes, infertility symptoms may also occur.
After diagnostic curettage, it is recommended to strengthen the local care of the vulva, prohibit sexual intercourse within 1 month, and no sitz bath to avoid infection, leading to complications. For details, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor.
