Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As a physician, I would like to tell you that there occurs a mild spotting following D&C for a period of 1 to 2 months. But, spotting after 6 months is not a normal sign and I would advise that you should visit your consulting Obgy doctor as soon as possible.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Abhijeet
