A member asked:
First period after d&c is very painful and heavy. feels similar to labour pains and they keep coming and going. why is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Extra growth time: After a d & c removes most of the endometrium(lining of the womb) , it allows it to grow to its' fullest extent before the next cycle ends, and consequently is heavier.
