Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Those symptoms if associated with foul smelling vaginal discharge & altered bowel habits can be complication of D & C. If not having discharge & altered bowel habit, its unlikely to be complication of D & C ane may be due to some other reason. To find out reason, you need to consult physician.
Regards.
