Is it normally for the doctor to punctured your uterus and bowel during a d c?

Uterine perforation and bowel injury are rare but known complications of dilation and curettage (D&C).

The incidence of uterine perforation during D&C has been estimated to be between 0.1% and 0.5%, while the incidence of bowel injury during D&C is thought to be less than 0.1%

Uterine perforation and bowel injury during D&C can occur for a variety of reasons, including:

* The use of excessive force during the procedure

The presence of uterine anomalies, such as a septate uterus or a bicornuate uterus

* The presence of scar tissue from previous uterine surgery, such as a cesarean section

Symptoms of uterine perforation or bowel injury during D&C can include:

Uterine perforation

* Severe abdominal pain

* Vaginal bleeding

* Fever

* Chills

* Nausea

* Vomiting

Bowel injury

* Abdominal pain

* Nausea

* Vomiting

* Diarrhea

* Rectal bleeding

* Fever

* Chills

If you experience any of the symptoms listed above after a D&C, it is important to see your doctor right away.

Treatment for uterine perforation or bowel injury may include surgery, antibiotics, and blood transfusions.

You should also notify your doctor prior to the D&C procedure if you have a history of uterine anomalies, previous uterine surgeries, or any other conditions that may increase your risk of uterine perforation or bowel injury.

In most cases, a D&C is a safe and effective procedure. However, there are some potential risks associated with this procedure, including uterine perforation and bowel injury. It is important to be aware of these risks and to discuss them with your doctor before undergoing a D&C.
