Dilation and Curettage (D&C) is a brief gynecological minor procedure in which the cervix is gently dilated and a surgical curette or suction cannula is used to remove tissue from the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium). In Chennai, verified gynecologists perform D&C in certified clinic day-care operating suites under short, light sedation or local anesthesia, ensuring maximum patient comfort and safety.

D&C serves both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Diagnostically, it is used to investigate abnormal uterine bleeding, postmenopausal bleeding, recurrent spotting, or suspected endometrial hyperplasia and polyps, with the extracted endometrial tissue sent for laboratory histopathology. Therapeutically, D&C is performed to clear retained placental tissue following childbirth, manage incomplete miscarriages, or treat acute heavy bleeding episodes.

The entire procedure takes only 10 to 15 minutes. Because no abdominal incisions are required, patients experience minimal discomfort (similar to mild menstrual cramping) and are discharged home within 2 to 4 hours. Initial gynecological evaluations for abnormal bleeding in Chennai on NectarPlus Health range from a few hundred rupees upward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a D&C procedure painful?

No. The procedure is performed under short intravenous sedation or local paracervical block, so you will feel no pain during the procedure. Mild menstrual-like cramps may occur for 24–48 hours afterward, which are easily managed with mild pain relievers.

How long do I need to stay in the hospital after a D&C in Chennai?

D&C is a daycare outpatient procedure. Most patients rest in the recovery area for 2 to 4 hours until the sedation wears off and can return home the same day.

What is the recovery time after a D&C procedure?

Most women return to work and light daily routines within 24 to 48 hours. Light vaginal spotting is normal for 1 to 2 weeks, during which tampons, douching, and sexual intercourse should be avoided.

Why is tissue sent for biopsy after a D&C?

Endometrial tissue is examined under a microscope by pathologists to identify the underlying cause of abnormal bleeding — such as hormonal imbalance, endometrial polyps, infection, or precancerous hyperplasia.

What is the cost of a D&C procedure in Chennai?

Consultation fees on NectarPlus Health range from a few hundred rupees upward. Daycare D&C procedure packages in Chennai typically range from ₹12,000 to ₹35,000, including day-care bed, surgeon fees, and histopathology biopsy analysis.

What warning symptoms should I report after a D&C?

Contact your gynecologist immediately if you experience heavy bleeding soaking more than two sanitary pads an hour, fever over 100.4°F, severe worsening abdominal pain, or foul-smelling vaginal discharge.
