Patient's question:
I have had a D&C surgery for over a month. About half a month ago, I had an ultrasound check, and it said there was still something inside. Now I'm bleeding, much more than during my menstrual period. I'm going to have surgery now, or should I wait until the bleeding stops? Is it heavy menstrual bleeding? What is the cause. Thank youDoctor's answer:
Within one month after a D&C, there may be intermittent discharge of lochia. Generally, menstruation will return around one month later.After a D&C, sexual activity should be avoided within the first month to prevent intrauterine infection. Avoid consuming overly stimulating foods, maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia, and pay attention to local hygiene. You can now return for a follow-up to check the recovery of the uterine condition.
