WFD (separate diagnostic curettage ) is done if hysteroscopy showed the progression of pathological processes and neoplasms in the female genitalia. Many women ask themselves: what is the difference between hysteroscopy and curettage and what is better - hysteroscopy or scraping? But how can these two processes be compared if they are completely different. Hysteroscopy is an examination of the uterine cavity using a special device, and the WFD is already a surgical effect on the body.
Hysteroscopy with separate diagnostic curettage
Hysteroscopy with diagnostic curettage is a "double" procedure, based on examination of the uterine cavity, as well as removal of various benign formations. For examination, the doctor uses a hysteroscope, with which he can determine the presence of polyps, chlamydial nodules, adhesions, adhesions and other "unnecessary". Hysteroscopy and scraping are two processes that always stride together, because if any pathological phenomena are detected, they must be removed for further study of the formations and for clarifying the diagnosis.
Do not confuse diagnostic hysteroscopy and treatment. After all, in the first case the procedure is carried out to detect any violations in the body of a woman, and the second - to eliminate them.
When is it necessary to do hysteroscopy?
For conducting this survey, there are a number of indications:
- disturbed monthly cycle;
- suspected presence of fibroids, adenomyosis, hyperplasia , malformations, adhesions, endometrial cancer, intrauterine synechia, perforation of the uterine walls;
- infertility;
- miscarriages in the early stages.
In 90 percent of cases, this analysis helps to confirm or refute the diagnosis.
But there are also obstacles to this procedure:
- infectious processes in the body;
- acute inflammation of the genital organs;
- disease of the liver, spleen, kidneys, cardiovascular system, etc .;
- stenosis, cervical cancer;
- bleeding;
- pregnancy.
How is the procedure of hysteroscopy and curettage?
Scraping under the control of hysteroscopy is a simple operation, but it is performed under general anesthesia, as manipulation takes place in internal organs. After such an operation, a woman is discharged from the hospital after 2 - 3 days. After hysteroscopy with scraping, a woman may have a few more days of discharge, similar to a monthly one. To panic in that case it is not necessary is a normal phenomenon caused by mechanical influence on a cavity of a uterus.
