Hi,
The drug given to you Primolut N is a hormonal drug which causes withdrawal bleeding,at times even after d and c also some products can be left in as these are blind procedures. That is why such drugs are given to get sure so that if some products are left inside they can come out in next withdrawal bleed.
Now withdrawal bleed is normal,but withdrawal bleed are usually not that painful and not that heavy,but since your bleeding is to heavy and painful,you may go for an ultrasound to see if any retained products of conception are there.
you may use a pain killer such as meftal spas 1 bd and hot water bottle to relive your pain.

Hi,
That is good that your ultrasound report is clear and didn't have any retained bits,the bleeding you are having may last for 3-5 days.
If pain is there then you can have pain killers. You should also have plenty of water because many people feel dehydrated and weak in such situation and have a good and healthy diet(high protein diet). You can also use hot water bottle over abdomen to relive your abdominal muscles.
