A member asked:
Hoping you can tell me, is d&c only performed for a miscarriage or is there any other medical reason?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For diagnosis: It is also perfomed for diagnosis of unexplained heavy or abnormal vaginal bleeding, especially if precancerous changes or cancer are suspected; or if polyps are suspected and to remove them.It is sometimes required to stop acute, extremely heavy bleeding, when medications have failed and a patient is bleeding uncontrollably.
