Yes
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I read your query and I understand your concerns.
Following is my reply
1. This is normal.
2. After D&C the endometrial growth varies.
3. Therefore one or 2 months you will have excess flow.
4. Clots might be present.
5. In any case bleeding should not exceed 10 days. If exceeds see your gynecologist.
6.Till then dont worry. If yoy find present flow uncomfortable you can request for tranexamic acid tablets from your doctor which will reduce flow.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
