Patient's question:
A 25-year-old female, 11 months postpartum, has been experiencing intermittent and minimal bleeding for the past 20 days. An ultrasound revealed a point-like fibrosis spot in her uterus. The doctor prescribed hemostatic granules, but after taking them for one day, her bleeding increased significantly. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
According to your description and the postpartum follow-up examination, the result suggests that this could be due to retained placenta or fetal membrane, leading to increasing bleeding, which may eventually be expelled with the bleeding. My suggestion is to wait until the bleeding stops completely and then have a follow-up examination. If necessary, a hysteroscopy can be performed. There are many treatment methods for postpartum bleeding, but since the symptoms of the patients differ, the treatment methods adopted also vary. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
