Which is worse a dandc or lithotripsy ? i'm scared bc i have a dandc thursday.i survived a lithotripsy .
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither is Worse: Cancer is worse, car accidents are worse, strokes, heart attacks and dementia are worse. I assume doctors have done d;c for hundreds of years. With modern medical care they are very safe. So is lithotripsy. But all procedures carry some risk. Discuss your concerns with your doctor. U know what is probably the riskiest thing? Driving to the hospital on the public highway.
