Hello
Thank you for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com.
See, a laminaria tent dilates the cervix and makes it very easy to perform a D and C.
It is not very painful, do not worry.
The actual procedure would be done under anesthesia.
Sepsis is not likely since you are being monitored by a doctor.
DO not worry , relax and go ahead with the procedure.
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further.
Regards.
