Post-D&C Fever: What to Know & When to Worry

Question
I am on my 5th week since my D&C and i just got fever.I don't really have any other symptoms of an infection and I still did not get my periods. Is there anything to worry?

Answer
Dear Pallavi,
periods after an abortion are always irregular and unpredictable.
So no worry about that.
How high is your temperature, and do you have any pain anywhere ?
I do not think this late fever has any connection with your abortion.
Just wait and measure the temperature.
No worry yet,
Dr Shan
