Patient's question:
Four weeks after a cesarean section, I have been experiencing brown or yellow lochia. It cleared up after five weeks, but then I started bleeding again at 40 days, with occasional black blood clots. I have been exclusively breastfeeding. Is this my period? Will it affect milk production? Do I need to promote lactation during this time?Doctor's answer:
As long as you don't have other symptoms, it will never interfere with the quality of breast milk. Breastfeeding is usually used when there isn't enough milk. I suggest you see a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Generally, it takes 5-6 weeks for the uterus to return to its pre-pregnancy state after childbirth, and the bloody lochia usually lasts for about 3-4 days.Wishing you the best, apart from timely treatment for a cesarean section, friends who have undergone the procedure should always maintain a positive attitude when facing the disease. Only in this way can they enhance their immunity and the belief to combat the illness. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care, focusing on light and nutritious foods, avoiding cold foods that may affect their health. They believe that this will surely drive away the cesarean section.
