All You Need To Know About Pelvic Pain During Pregnancy Experiencing pelvic pain during pregnancy, mostly in the final trimester when the stress on the pelvic region is intense, is quite common. However, many women do not experience it until they are in the early stages of labour.

Identifying the issue is often difficult as it could be a wide range of problems, and sometimes it can also be difficult to describe them to the doctor.

Diagnosis of Heavy Bleeding: How D&C With Hysteroscopy Can Help

Diagnosis of Heavy Bleeding: How D&C Hysteroscopy Can Help

Experiencing heavy periods is tough for most women as they can be painful and stressful. The medical term for heavy periods is ‘Menorrhagia’, wherein women often experience abnormally heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, occasionally even heavy bleeding with clots.

To treat the causes of heavy periods, hysteroscopy is often performed using a hysteroscope – a thin, lighted tube that is inserted in the vagina to examine the cervix and the inside of the uterus. A women’s healthcare specialist may also use hysteroscopy to take a tissue/lining sample to perform a biopsy or remove fibroid tumours.

Dilation and Curettage (D & C): All You Need To Know

Dilation and Curettage (D & C): All You Need To Know

Dilation and curettage, commonly known as D&C, is a minimally-invasive, minor surgical procedure to remove the tissue from the uterus after a miscarriage. The surgery is performed by a gynaecologist or obstetrician in their respective surgery centre. It is usually an outpatient procedure, where you are discharged and allowed to go home the same day. 

D&C derives its name from: 

  • Dilation of the cervix: The gynaecologist dilates (opens) the cervix, which is the lower, narrower opening of the uterus where it meets the top of the vagina. The cervix usually dilates only during childbirth. 
  • Curette: The gynaecologist uses a thin instrument known as a curette to scrape the wall of the uterus and remove tissue.

Difference Between Hysteroscopy and D&C

Difference Between Hysteroscopy and D&C

A hysteroscopy is a surgical procedure wherein fibroids or polyps are removed from the cavity of the uterus, while dilation and curettage (D&C) is a surgical procedure for the removal of tissues from the inner lining of the uterus. In D&C, the cervix is dilated and a curette – a spoon-shaped instrument – is inserted into the uterus to remove the tissue. 

In most cases, the procedure of D&C may be performed after hysteroscopy as it allows for a better diagnosis of the tissue. To understand the difference between D&C and Hysteroscopy, we must take a look at them individually.

Best Sleeping Positions for a Pregnant Woman

Many women find themselves wondering about the best sleeping position when pregnant. Sleep issues are common during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, and finding a comfortable sleeping position can be challenging.
