When is diagnostic scraping performed?
Diagnostic scraping of the cervical canal is a fairly common method of determining the cause of the disease. It can be held in the following situations:
- various disorders of the menstrual cycle;
- dysfunctional uterine bleeding;
- polyps of uterine endometrium and cervix;
- when suspected of cancer.
What are the contraindications for the procedure?
Scraping of the mucous cervical canal can not always be done. Thus, the procedure is not carried out when:
- infectious diseases of reproductive organs;
- inflammatory processes in the uterus and its appendages;
Therefore, before carrying out the manipulation, a mandatory examination is carried out, as well as ultrasound, blood tests (for HIV, syphilis, viral hepatitis) are prescribed.
How to prepare for curettage?
The day before the curettage procedure, a woman completely abolished the previously prescribed syringing. In the morning, just before the operation, the toilet of the external genitalia is carried out.
An operation is performed on an empty stomach, a woman is allowed to drink only a little. The procedure itself is performed under anesthesia and lasts for a short time - about 20 minutes.
What are the effects of scraping?
Most often, women are not interested in the process and the specifics of the operation, but the effects of scraping the cervical canal. Most often, no violations are observed. Damaged mucosa is necessary for about 1 month for complete recovery.
However, in some cases, bleeding may occur, which is caused by trauma to the inner layer of the uterus.
The most negative consequence of such manipulation is the fact that after it is carried out, a woman can not conceive for a long time. Moreover, in some cases, doctors recommend to attempt to conceive not earlier than 3-4 months after scraping. As for the secretions observed after scraping the cervical canal, this is normal. Their duration does not exceed 5-7 days. In the event that such a phenomenon is observed for 10 or more days, you need to see a doctor. Perhaps this condition requires additional treatment.
