After a D&C procedure, you should rest when you get home. You can usually return to normal activities after 1 to 2 days.
Recovery After D&C
Here's a breakdown of what to expect regarding rest and recovery:
- Immediate Rest: Upon returning home after the D&C, prioritize resting. The effects of anesthesia can make you feel tired.
- Resuming Activities: You can typically resume your normal activities within 1 to 2 days.
- Discomfort: Mild cramping or abdominal discomfort is normal after a D&C.
| Activity | Timeframe | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Rest | Upon returning home | Due to anesthesia and procedure itself |
| Normal Activities | 1 to 2 days after the D&C | Listen to your body and avoid overexertion |
