DNC= Dilation and curettage
involves dilating the cervix and inserting instruments to remove the lining of the uterus, while the woman is under an anaesthetic. A curettage is performed with a curette, a metal rod with a handle on one end and a sharp loop on the other.
There is a whole lot of info on wikipedia.org!

I had this done about 2 years ago. You make an appointment to go to the hospital, they put you to sleep and scrape out your uterus (don't ask me how or with what cuz I was asleep). It only takes a couple of hours for the whole appointment and you leave the hospital. I was a little sore after mine for a couple days, which they told me is perfectly normal. I'm pretty sure you are not suppose to have sex for a certain amount of time after one of those but I don't really remember. It was the easiest procedure I've ever had done.

I had one after a miscarriage in 2004. I was at the hospital for an hour. My doctor said they would scrape my uterus and clean it out. I was asleep the entire time. My doc told me it only took 10 minutes for the procedure to be completed. I went home 10 minutes after I was in recovery. You feel a little lower abdomen pain, but Tylenol normally takes care of the pain.

U will be put under local aneastheia where u wont feel a thing and they will dialate your cervix to open it up and insert a tube inside of your uterus and scrape out the lining of your uterus to remove all of its contents left behind...
