Hi @debdeb. Did your gynecologist say that you have cervical stenosis? I found some information that may describe a "sealed cervix". http://www.merckmanuals.com/home/women-s-health-issues/noncancerous-gynecologic-abnormalities/cervical-stenosis

This article by Mayo Clinic explains D&C (dilation and curettage), why it is done and what you can expect. http://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/dilation-and-curettage/basics/definition/prc-20013836 A general anesthesia is given for the procedure, so you will be unconscious and will not feel any pain.

I certainly can understand your being frightened. What concerns you the most Deb? When are you going to have the D&C?
