| Uterine scraping (D and C) has relatively few risks, can provide relief from bleeding, and can help diagnose problems including infection, cancer, infertility and other disease. Normal activities may be resumed as soon as the patient feels well, even the same day. There may be vaginal bleeding, as well as pelvic cramps and back pain for a few days after the procedure. Pain can usually be managed well with medications. Tampon use is not recommended for a few weeks and sexual intercourse is not recommended for a few days. |
