Sister has uterus infection and says she may need an emergency dnc... what in the world does this mean and what's the cause?

DNC: Dilatation and curettage (D&C or DNC) means to dilate the entrance of the uterus and scrape the inside of the uterus and send the scraping for testing like looking for cells or futures for infection. This is a very common procedure and should not cause any problem
