What is a therapeutic dilation and curettage?
A therapeutic dilation and curettage (D&C) is a minor surgical procedure used to remove the contents and lining of your uterus. The uterus is the muscular organ at the top of the vagina. Babies develop in the uterus, and menstrual blood comes from the uterus. Your uterus will stay intact and you will keep your ability to have children after this procedure.
