Recommendations after uterine curettage

When a curettage is performed, the woman's recovery is usually quite fast. It is advisable for the patient to rest for at least the first day, but then she can return to her daily routines. However, the woman must take certain precautions after curettage, such as those mentioned below:

• Sexual abstinence.
• Do not use tampons.
• Avoid intense exercise.

In addition, the woman may experience vaginal bleeding and/or some pain. However, the patient should consult a specialist in case of fever, foul-smelling discharge, heavy bleeding or severe pain.
