Patient's question:
Postpartum for 39 days, the discharge has not stopped. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and there were no problems with the uterus or appendages. However, on the 40th day, it was bright red blood (it was dark red before), and the amount of discharge in these days is about the same as a normal menstrual period. Is it possible that it's menstruation?Doctor's answer:
It is possible that the blood coming now is menstrual blood. As long as the amount does not exceed the menstrual flow, you can wait and see if it can stop on its own according to the usual menstrual cycle. After a miscarriage, some people may resume menstruation within 30 to 40 days. If there are no discomforts, just be careful not to catch a cold and avoid eating extremely cold foods. There is nothing else that needs to be paid attention to, and medication is not necessary at this time.
