D&C Aftercare

A Dilation and Curettage (D&C) is a medical procedure performed to remove tissue from the uterus, often for diagnostic or treatment purposes. After the procedure, proper aftercare is essential to promote healing and prevent complications. Patients may experience mild cramping, light bleeding, and fatigue for a few days. It is important to rest, avoid heavy lifting, and refrain from inserting anything into the vagina (such as tampons or douching) for at least two weeks to reduce the risk of infection.

 Dilation and Curettage (D&C) is a procedure used to remove tissue from the uterus for diagnostic or therapeutic reasons. Following the procedure, proper aftercare is essential to ensure a smooth recovery and reduce the risk of complications. It is common to experience some mild cramping, light bleeding, or spotting for several days after the procedure. These symptoms usually subside as the body heals. Patients should avoid strenuous physical activities and heavy lifting for a few days and follow their doctor’s guidance regarding rest and activity levels.

In the first few weeks following a D&C, it’s important to avoid inserting anything into the vagina, such as tampons or douching, as this can introduce bacteria and increase the risk of infection. If bleeding is light and cramps are mild, there’s generally no cause for concern. However, if the bleeding becomes heavy or if you experience severe pain, fever, or foul-smelling discharge, it is critical to contact your healthcare provider immediately.
