What Causes Vaginal Spotting Post A D&C Procedure?
Hi I have a general question I had a D&C about six months ago and I am still having just a little spotting I'm 56 years old and is it normal to spot a little bit when you having a bowel movement and then it stops within seconds and sometimes I think I smell a little oder but it's not all the time this happens can something be going on?
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
