Dilatation and Curettage - Post Operative Care
Postoperative care involves the precautions that we need to follow after a Dilatation and Curettage (D&C) procedure.
The precautions that need to followed after the surgery are:
- Some cramping or mild abdominal discomfort is considered usual after a D&C, consult the doctor if the pain is severe.
- Medications should be taken as per the prescription of the doctor.
- Ensure to take the entire course of antibiotic.
- Refrain from the use of internal tampons and sexual intercourse for about a week or as advised by your doctor.
