Dilation and Curettage (D&C) is a surgical procedure used to remove tissue from the uterus. It's commonly performed after a miscarriage or abortion to remove any remaining tissue, or to diagnose and treat causes of heavy menstrual bleeding. The cervix is dilated, and a thin, sharp instrument called a curette is used to scrape the lining of the uterus.
