Most women feel fine after the procedure and return to work the next day though some women need another day to fully recover. It’s important to follow our post-operative advice and be kind to yourself.
You may experience mild discomfort to crampy period-like pain after the procedure.
We recommend that you take routine pain killers like:
Please don’t take Nurofen if you are allergic or have asthma.
