What Is DOU Surgery?
Hi, i had a miscarriage and my doctor asked me to undergo a minor surgery to wash the womb off the remaining blood and other particles in the womb. He said the surgery i had was not D&C but it is called DOU, i have researched on this but to no avail. Can you please help me understand this DOU surgery?

Hi, Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar here. I welcome you to HCM VIRTUAL CLINIC. I have gone through your question, and I think think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.
As you have rightly said, there is no surgery as DO. But from your history it appears that what you need is a surgery named as Dilatation and Evacuation, D &E. Or also called as DNE. This is a surgery to clean up the womb of non viable pregnancy.
I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks.
Dr. Purushottam Neurgaonkar.
