Hi,
If you had a simple diagnostic dilatation and curettage, you should not bleed much, just for a couple of days. If it was done to clear an abortion, you may bleed for longer period for a week or two. Also, if the bleeding is persistent, you should also consider abnormal bleeding profiles, hormonal imbalances and trauma during the procedure including infection. In such an event, you need expert help in person. Please maintain genital hygiene. Hope you find this information helpful. Wish you good health.
