Patient's question:
I just had a C-section and now I'm still having my period. I'm a bit worried. Can you tell me if it's normal to have a period four months after a C-section?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you with your question. Whether it's a natural birth or a cesarean section, the time of menstruation recovery is related to the decision to breastfeed. If you don't breastfeed, menstruation usually returns within 4 to 6 weeks. Women who choose to breastfeed typically do not have their menstruation return for 4 to 6 months. So, it's normal to have menstruation return after 4 months, and there's no need to worry. For patients, if the condition after a cesarean section is severe, timely symptomatic treatment should be administered.
