Scabbing
A uterine abrasion is also called curettage or abrasion. The gynaecologist can use either a so-called sharp spoon (abrasio) or a blunt spoon (curettage) for the scraping. The doctor can extract tissue from the uterus by scraping and then have it histologically (tissue-technical) examined.
In this way it can be assessed whether the cyst is a benign or malignant change. A scraping can be performed with or without anesthesia, depending on the patient’s wishes and the cause of the procedure. After the scraping, the patient should rest for the rest of the day.
In the days following the scraping, slight bleeding may occur. However, if there is more severe bleeding, fever and pain, the patient should consult a gynaecologist again for clarification. As a rule, however, cysts are removed by laparascopic surgery.
Pregnancy
Cysts can also be present in the uterus during pregnancy, and this happens relatively frequently. As long as these cysts do not continue to grow in size or cause symptoms, they are harmless but should be monitored. Pregnancy cysts usually disappear by the 12th week of pregnancy. Until then, the embryo can be supplied by the cyst, as the cyst maintains the hormone level of the corpus luteum – until the umbilical cord or placenta has developed to supply the embryo.
