Does it hurt to clean the uterus in a few minutes?

  Usually there is a certain amount of pain associated with the procedure, and the exact amount of pain is related to the choice of the procedure and the individual’s sensitivity to pain. A painless curettage is less painful than a normal curettage and takes about 5 minutes to perform.  It is mainly used for patients who have more residual tissue in the uterine cavity after a medical abortion. The normal curettage is performed after local anesthesia with local injection of lidocaine in the cervix. Because it is performed by entering the uterine cavity with a scraper and scraping out the endometrial tissue or embryonic residues directly from the uterine cavity, the process of scraping will be painful and will be more obvious if the woman is sensitive to pain. Such women can take painless curettage under intravenous anesthesia under the guidance of a professional doctor, which can effectively reduce the pain during the procedure. The operation usually takes about five minutes, and there will be a slight pain in the lower abdomen after the end of the procedure.  It is recommended to go to the obstetrics and gynecology department of a regular hospital for the operation, avoid excessive mental tension, pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm after the operation, avoid straining, eat a light diet and have regular follow-up examinations.
