Patient's question:
Doctor, I've had a C-section for over 40 days. Since giving birth, I've had some lochia that hasn't completely stopped, and today it appeared again as bright red and more than before—is it my period?Doctor's answer:
The lochia doesn't clean up until six weeks. This is not your menstrual period; it is due to residual lochia not being fully expelled. If you have any abnormalities, you can get checked. If there are no abnormalities, there is no need for a check-up. Please wait a few more days and carefully observe. Generally, menstruation does not occur during breastfeeding, and it usually resumes after stopping breastfeeding. However, some women do experience menstruation during breastfeeding, which varies from person to person. For cesarean section patients, in addition to timely treatment, it is also important to pay attention to maintaining deep sleep. Sufficient deep sleep can help you recover quickly. I hope the above answers can help you. Thank you!
