A member asked:

Hi, is it normal to have continuous bleeding 9 weeks after d&c ? ultrasound showed no retained tissue ( only fibroid). hsg levels below 5 since 3 weeks ago. the bleeding has been continuous and ranges from heavy/chunky to light.

Dr. Christina Adberg answered

A little unusual: It may be due to the fibroid, or just very slow healing, but bleeding for this long after a D&C is unusual. So I would probably check for infection with a cervical culture, to rule out a mild case of endometritis. If you don't have an infection, your doctor may consider a short course of hormones to control the bleeding.
