What Is a Dnc
Posted: 10-08-05 20:45pm

My wife keeps telling me that she should
have a dnc. She bleeds really bad once a
mothly and has real bad cramps for a week
before and a week after. All this started
7 years ago when my son was born (the 4th
child) all of the kids were big (the 18
year old was8lbs , the 12 year old was
10lbs 8 oz , the 11 year old was 9lbs 4 oz
and the only boy was 9lbs 14oz) she had
her tubs tied right after he was
born.(with in a few hours) every since
then she is very moody and bleeds really
bad. I don't know what she should do.
She keeps talking about an dnc and I
really don't know much about it.

Dnc

I had a dnc after the miscarriage of my
triplets.
The uterus has a lining in it.
"endometrial lining"
what happens is the lining sheds during a
womans period.
Over time - that lining becomes thicker
and thicker for some woman.
That liner is suppose to shed monthly.
But obviously not for all woman!
I can cause very heavy bleeding.
The doctor will go in and and scrape that
liner in her uterus.
You can call it a "cleaning".
By the way.... A dnc is a sure way to get
her pregnant!!!!!!
So if that's unwanted... Just keep that
in mind!!!!

Getting Pregnant Ofter a Dnc

Thanks for the answer to my dnc question.
I thought that the odds of getting
pregnant after her tubs were tied was slim
to none. We have 4 children one in
college and 2 in middle school and the
baby is now seven. Are the odds of her
getting pregnant greater after a dnc.

She shouldnt be able to get preg with
tubes tied, but I have heard of pple
becoming pregnant within 10-14 years after
tubes being tied. Uncommon though--dnc
shouldnt make her chances higher--with her
tubes tied.

It's actually a d&c. Dilation and
curettage. Scraping of the lining of the
uterus.

A D&C or Dilation and Curettage means
they dilate the neck of the cervix in
order to pass an instrument through it
which tidies up the lining of the womb. I
have had a couple (I suffered from
endometriosis) and I can assure you that
after a day of two of very mild discomfort
and bleeding, heavy periods will be a
thing of the past. Your wife should go
ahead and have it done.

Blood that is old, or has been sitting
around in your uterus, turns brown. Fresh
blood is bright red. There is nothing
wrong with brown blood.

You should talk to your doctor about what
is the right time for your case. It can
take a few months for your period to
regulate again since a DNC has scraped the
lining of your uterus and there is no
lining left to shed in some cases.

Why does everyone keep referring to a D
& C as a 'dnc'?
