How long does it take for the lower body not to bleed after a cesarean section? What should I do?

Patient's question:

I've been having a Caesarean section for half a month. How long does it take for the lower body not to bleed after a Caesarean section?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, it takes about a month after a cesarean section for the bleeding (lochia) to stop. It is normal to have bleeding 15 days after a cesarean section, so you don't need to worry. If bleeding occurs again after a month, consider the possibility of residual tissue in the uterine cavity. An ultrasound can be used for diagnosis. I hope my explanation is helpful to you.
The daily treatment for cesarean section patients mainly focuses on symptomatic treatment. Patients can take many oral medications, supplement with various vitamins, and pay attention to regular schedules while avoiding smoking and alcohol.
