A member asked:

What type of catheter is used for uterine cervical stenosis after dilation and how long is it typically left in for? what problem might there be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Procedure: I'm not sure what procedure your doctor is recommending. It's not normal to leave the catheter in the cervix. Sometimes and angiocatheter is used to pass through the cervix. If your doctor is biopsy in your uterus then they will typically use a 2 mm pipelle.
