Dilation and Curettage (D&C)

What is Dilation and Curettage (D&C) and why it matters

Dilation and Curettage (D&C) is a common gynecological procedure used to diagnose and treat various conditions affecting the uterus. Whether performed after a miscarriage, to remove uterine lining abnormalities, or to investigate abnormal bleeding, D&C can provide clarity and physical relief during a difficult time.

‍

At Raveco Medical, we approach D&C with the utmost compassion and medical precision. We understand that for many women, this procedure carries emotional as well as physical significance. That’s why we prioritize clear communication, patient comfort, and post-procedure support. Our experienced OB/GYNs guide you every step of the way, so you can move forward with both clarity and care.

‍

Benefits of Dilation and Curettage (D&C) at Raveco

When performed by trusted experts in a supportive setting, D&C offers both diagnostic insight and therapeutic relief. Benefits include:

Accurate Diagnosis – Allows for detailed evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding, polyps, or suspected cancer.
Treatment After Miscarriage – Gently clears retained tissue to prevent infection and support emotional closure.
Relief From Heavy Bleeding – Helps reset the uterine lining in cases of irregular or excessive bleeding.
Fertility Preparation – May be recommended to clear the uterine environment before pregnancy attempts.
Safe, Low-Risk Procedure – Performed under sterile conditions with minimal complications in experienced hands.

‍

What You Can Expect

We take a patient-centered approach to every D&C procedure, ensuring that you feel informed, prepared, and supported.

‍

Before the procedure:

A thorough consultation will determine the need for D&C based on symptoms, medical history, and diagnostic tests (e.g., ultrasound, biopsy).
You’ll receive pre-operative instructions including whether to fast and what medications to avoid.
If emotionally sensitive (e.g., following pregnancy loss), we provide space for emotional questions and support.

‍

During the procedure:

D&C is typically performed under light anesthesia or sedation.
The cervix is gently dilated, and a thin surgical instrument is used to remove uterine lining or tissue for analysis.
The procedure usually takes 10–20 minutes and is completed on an outpatient basis.

‍

Aftercare:

You may experience light bleeding and cramping for a few days — this is normal and manageable with over-the-counter medications.
Most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 days.
A follow-up appointment is scheduled to review any pathology results and discuss next steps.
Emotional healing is also important — our team remains available for counseling referrals or further discussion if needed.

Dr. Ravins and the team at Raveco Medical provided exceptional care throughout my pregnancy and labor. From the start, they were attentive, kind, and professional, always taking the time to address my concerns and make me feel confident and informed. When it came time for labor, Dr. Ravins and his team were incredible at the hospital, ensuring I was comfortable and calm.

Kelly Figueroa

Amazing experience having Dr. R as my Doctor. He did my C section. From the moment I met him before my procedure, I felt comfortable and confident. He was all about making me comfortable, listening and answering questions, along with reassuring regarding all my concerns. He has a great personality like you’ve known him forever and just that was very welcoming.

Patient

Rose Edmond

Dr Ravins is such an incredible and awesome surgeon. My C section went so smoothly that I barely had pain afterwards. I was up walking, taking care of my baby the next day. Staff members, anesthesiologists, nurses were so professional, carrying.

Patient

Liza Gorham

The care provided at Raveco Medical is definitely the treatment every pregnant woman deserves. I will never forget my first prenatal appointment with Dr. Steven Ravins, after he became aware that I was above advance maternal age his exact words were "we are going to take care of you" and that's what Dr. Ravins and Dr. Olkowski did.

Patient

Camila

This was an amazing hospital the nurse was very attentive, the whole team was supportive and knowledgeable. They walked me through my whole experience and supported me throughout my labor experience. I would encourage to do the epidural if you are in extreme pain because Dr.Khan was phenomenal and walked me through everything.

Patient

Brigitte De Paz

Dr. Ravins helped me and my partner during the whole process of delivering my baby and he offered me the epidural. It was amazing I felt no pain and I recommend you get the epidural to make the delivery much easier.

Patient

Sara Porchetta

My c section was everything I had hoped for and more. Dr. Ravins was highly recommended by my OB/GYN when I became aware that I would potentially be getting a c section. Dr. Ravins came in before the surgery and was very thorough with my husband and I, to alleviate any concerns and explain the procedure.

Dr Olkowski is my OB I absolutely love him. I had the pleasure of meeting and having my baby delivered by Dr Ravin he is amazing.
