Could My Severe Lower Back Pain And Related Symptoms Be Due To My Period Following A D And C?
Question: Hi... I got my periods on 4 May 2012 after D and C on Apr 2 2012. Im getting severe lower back pain and could not bear it. because of it, i have difficulty in breathing, feel like vomiting. Could you please confirm me that my lower back pain is due to periods after miscarriage.
Brief Answer:
It could be due to infection etc.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
There seems to be some complication after the D and C. First periods after D and C are anyways heavier and associated with pain and discomfort. Severe back pain may mean complication like infection, retained products of conception etc.
You need to get back to your treating doctor. She may do some tests like PAP smear and pelvic ultrasound. According to the investigations and diagnosis, further management can be done.
Hope this helps.
