Hello,
Welcome to hcm,
Heavy menstrual flow following D and C is common you need not worry. If the flow is continuing after a week and heavy then you can take drugs like tranexamic acid or mefenamic acid which will help to reduce the bleeding or you can get ultrasound done to see if any products are still remaining.
Thank you
