Dilation and Curettage (D&C) is a gynecologic procedure used to remove tissue from the uterus. It involves dilating the cervix to allow access, then using a curette to scrape the walls of the uterus. This is often done after a miscarriage or to diagnose and treat causes of heavy menstrual bleeding or endometrial cancer.
