A member asked:
What is a uterine perforation and how is it repaired?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Perforation: The uterus is very muscular. Procedures with sharp instruments such as uterine curettage (d and c) may cause a defect through the uterine wall. Most often, these perforations heal spontaneously.
