Thread: D&C

Usually, it is done under general anesthesia, but in some cases in local anesthesia - it's up to the anesthesiologist, the surgeon and you to decide which works best for you. Do you want to have a twilight sleep while undergoing the procedure?

If you're going through general anesthesia, you could go home later the same day - that's what I did when I had my BTL. With spinal or epidural blocks, it would take more time for the anesthesiologist to do, and would require you more recovery time.

Vaginal bleeding and pelvic cramping are some normal things that you'll experience post-op. Pelvic cramping is somewhat similar to menstrual cramps. Aside from that, there are no other reports that are alarming. But should you experience extreme pain or any unusual bleeding or discomfort, call your physician/surgeon.

You have to watch your symptoms closely. Look up D &C in the net to find out more.
