Curette is a process that is done to erode the lining of the uterus (endometrium). This process is usually done to remove the remaining tissue in the uterus. This process is generally done within five minutes.
Prior to curettage, gynecology doctor will check to first see if there is still residual tissue in the uterus or not, this is to avoid bleeding and also prevent infection of the uterus.
How that is done is to use an ultrasound scan. If the miscarriage occurred in the early stages of pregnancy and the remaining tissue is very small, then the curette is not necessary but was only given medication alone.
The doctor will give you anesthetic first before curettage. After that the doctor will open the cervix using a tool called dilators, and then enter the instrument through the cervix to remove the remaining network is still there in the womb. When dikuret rasannya very uncomfortable and too sick for some time.
