text: what is d and c procedure that women go thru..what is side effects after procedure? specially concerned with after-effects..i heard person gains weight..lacks sex - desire i have had several of these, unfortunately. they put you under so you don't feel a thing. however, you will be uncomfortable for a few days afterward. i had mine on a friday and was back at work monday (and took it easy over the weekend; no heavy lifting).   the monday after was still tender; but tuesday i felt fine. everyone's body is different. i hope you don't have much pain. i only had the feeling of bad cramps.   d&c's are also done to help reduce heavy menstrual bleeding and to check for endometrial cancer as well.  i hope all goes well for you. best wishes.
