I recently had a D&C (3 days ago). I had the normal bleeding afterwords, but today I started bleeding very heavy. Can I be havin

Anon, we really need more information from you.

I understand that you are 25. How many months or years has it been since you had a period?

Do you have pain? If so, where?

Are you sexually active?

Do you have any symptoms?

Can you talk to your doctor and find out why he wants to do this D&C?

(It is not a difficult or scary operation, by the way. Did you look at the link about that has information about D&Cs?)

Please take the time to tell us more so that maybe we can help you.

i do nt have period doctor told me do operation i don t want to do operation what to do have period

Debs, if you see this, please come back and finish your question. Based on what you were able to write, let's talk about bleeding after a D&C.

Dilation and curettage (D&C) is a surgical procedure. While relatively minor, normal recovery includes irregular bleeding or spotting for up to two weeks, and cramps similar to menstrual cramps.

If you are having severe bleeding, you need to call your doctor. "Severe" is characterized as soaking more than two large sanitary pads in a row in an hour, for 2 hours in a row, or having heavy bleeding for 12 hours in a row.

Here's a page on D&C that includes information about recovery:

Don't forget that everyone is different, and your body may react differently to a D&C than someone else's would. Your hormone levels may have something to do with this. Don't hesitate to call your doctor if you're having these symptoms. That's what they're there for, and if you're bleeding excessively they would want to know. There are medicines they can give you if needed to help stop the bleeding.

Let us know what else we can find out for you.
