Dilation and CurettageA standard gynecological procedure, a dilation, and curettage — commonly referred to as a D&C — is a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure to remove tissue from your uterus. As a diagnostic procedure, the D&C is used to obtain a tissue sample for testing. As a therapeutic procedure, it aims to remove or clean out malignant or benign growths. Both types of dilation and curettage are considered minimally invasive and have almost no recovery time needed after the procedure. A diagnostic D&C is different from a biopsy in the technique and tools used in the procedure. However, the result is the same: to capture a tissue sample to analyze so your doctor can reach an accurate diagnosis. A therapeutic D&C is similar to a hysteroscopy, but your doctor uses a different instrument to complete it. A D&C hysteroscopy combination offers a complete picture of the health of your uterus.
