Patient's question:
I had a C-section 35 days ago. The past two days, there was a lot of bleeding, but in the following days, the amount decreased gradually, turning milky white. Then for a few days, it was dark blood and fresh blood, followed by milky white again. My abdomen doesn't hurt, but there's still some bleeding. What could be the reason? Is this normal? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
If there are no abnormal symptoms in your body, it means everything is fine. Lochia usually takes 4 to 6 weeks to completely clear. You haven't finished shedding your lochia yet. You need to rest well and avoid physical labor. If there are any abnormalities, you can have a follow-up examination. If there are no abnormalities, you should continue to rest properly. Generally, menstruation does not occur during breastfeeding, but some women do experience menstruation while breastfeeding. This varies from person to person.For cesarean section patients, daily treatment is mainly symptomatic. Patients can take many oral medications and supplement with various vitamins, while also paying attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoiding cold foods. We hope that cesarean section patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
