Light to moderate bleeding after a D&C procedure is quite common for a few days because the uterus and its lining are healing after the procedure. Some women also notice mild cramping, spotting, or small blood clots during recovery. The amount of bleeding may vary from person to person and often becomes lighter gradually over time. Recovery usually improves with rest, hydration, avoiding heavy lifting, and following the medicines advised after the procedure. Using sanitary pads instead of tampons for some time may help reduce infection risk and make it easier to monitor the bleeding. Mild lower abdominal discomfort can also happen during healing. However, very heavy bleeding, large clots, severe abdominal pain, foul-smelling discharge, fever, dizziness, or weakness can sometimes indicate infection, retained tissue, or excessive bleeding and may need proper medical care. If the bleeding suddenly increases rather than improving gradually, it is better to discuss it with the treating doctor for reassurance and to monitor recovery.
