OBGYN,  's  Response
Hello,
You did not say why you had the dilatation and curettage. If D&C is done in a woman who did not have any vaginal delivery before, the cervix has to be dilated and this leads to pain. Even though the procedure is done under anaesthesia, pain is persistent for sometime later. Spotting is also observed sometimes after the procedure depending on the reason for D&C. Also, menstrual cycle gets disturbed after any procedure, including stress. Yet, as you have pain, I suggest that you see your doctor for a checkup and advice. Take care.
