Does A Dilation And Curettage Procedure Cause Complications In Future Pregnancy?

Hi, I am 32 years female. I had once abortion 3 years ago and once abortion 1 year ago. And had d n c procedure. Now again we are planning to have a baby soon. The thing is that after my dnc procedure I am feeling some changes in my body. I have short period than it has to be. It's regular but it's short. And I feel cramping or sharp pinching in my uterus when I exercise like running and yoga or stretching. Is it normal it only happens occasionally mostly when I am involved in physical activities. And the other thing is will it be problem for me in future pregnancy or having a healthy baby. I am so worried. I don't have any baby yet. But I was pregnant twice but couldn't happen wasn't in my luck. Pls suggest what should I do to have a healthy child and normal pregnancy.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Some amount irregularity in period can be expected after D and C, due to hormonal effect or due to local changes in uterine endometrium or sometimes postprocedural infection can also lead to this condition. Repeated abortions sometimes can lead to a condition called asherman syndrome. In which adhesions can be formed in uterine cavity which can lead to decreased amount of menstrual flow menstrual cramps and that can affect fertility also. But this is a rare condition. So, if the symptoms persist, better to consult your gynecologist once, get examined and undergo ultrasound once which can help in finding the possible cause your problem and treatment can be taken accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
