Suction Curettage/ Vacuum Aspiration

Service Description

Suction curettage is a medical procedure primarily used in several clinical situations. It serves as an effective method for first-trimester pregnancy termination before 13 weeks, providing a safe option for abortion care. The procedure is also commonly employed to manage early pregnancy loss (miscarriage), helping to completely remove remaining tissue and prevent infection. Healthcare providers utilize suction curettage diagnostically to obtain endometrial tissue samples when investigating abnormal uterine bleeding, allowing for pathological examination to detect conditions like hyperplasia or cancer. Additionally, the technique can treat certain benign uterine conditions such as polyps or incomplete miscarriages. In cases of postpartum complications, it may be used to remove retained placental fragments that could cause bleeding or infection. This minimally invasive procedure typically offers quicker recovery times compared to more extensive surgical interventions
