högvolymsugning

Högvolymsugning refers to a medical procedure used to remove fluid or tissue from the body, typically the uterus. It is often employed in the context of gynecological procedures such as abortion, management of miscarriage, or the removal of retained placental tissue after childbirth. The technique involves using a specialized suction catheter connected to a vacuum source. This vacuum creates negative pressure, which gently aspirates the contents from the uterine cavity.

The procedure is generally performed under local anesthesia or sedation, though general anesthesia may be used in some cases. It is considered a relatively safe and effective method for uterine evacuation. Compared to surgical curettage, which involves scraping the uterine lining with a surgical instrument, högvolymsugning is often preferred due to its less invasive nature and potentially lower risk of uterine perforation or damage to the endometrium. The duration of the procedure is typically short, often lasting only a few minutes. Post-procedure care usually involves monitoring for bleeding and pain, with most individuals recovering quickly. Recovery times and specific instructions will vary depending on the individual and the reason for the procedure.
