About
DNC stands for Dilatation and Curettage in the medical field. It is a common surgical procedure performed to diagnose and treat certain conditions related to the uterus.
During a DNC, the cervix (the lower part of the uterus) is dilated or opened, and a curette, a small spoon-shaped instrument, is used to scrape or remove the uterine lining. This procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.
