Painful sex after D&C or D&E?

Question

I had a miscarriage 3 weeks ago and a D&E just over 2 weeks ago. Had sex for the first time tonight and found it a bit painful. Anyone else experience this?

Answer

Yes, sex was definitely painful the first few times. In fact, the first time, which was 2 weeks after the D&C, we had to stop because it was excruciating. But it got a little bit better every time after that and things were back to normal after a couple of tries. If things don't feel right after a few tries, talk to your doctor!

Answer

We didn't have sex until after my first cycle. That whole area after my d&e was a disaster for about 3 weeks (not to mention I got hemmorhoids too right after surgery 😕)

Answer

I had my d&c 3 weeks ago but no sex yet...i heard it can be painful though thats why the dr tells you to wait for a period first before sexual intercourse. It can also be painful because you havent had it in a while and everything in there is tigher.
