After a D&C (Dilation and Curettage) procedure, a woman's body experiences a variety of changes as it recovers. These changes primarily involve symptoms related to the uterus and hormone levels readjusting.
Common Symptoms After a D&C
Here's a breakdown of what to expect:
- Pain and Cramping:
- You are likely to experience backache or cramps similar to menstrual cramps.
- Vaginal Bleeding:
- You may pass small blood clots from your vagina for the first few days.
- Light vaginal bleeding can continue for several weeks after the procedure.
In summary, the immediate aftermath of a D&C typically involves pain management, monitoring bleeding, and allowing the body time to heal and hormone levels to stabilize.
