Is it normal to have a very heavy menstrual period after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I have always had relatively normal menstruation. Since my cesarean section, my periods have been particularly heavy for the next three months. I am very upset, wondering if this is a postpartum complication of cesarean section. So, I would like to ask the doctor, is it normal for my menstruation to be particularly heavy three months after giving birth via cesarean section?

Doctor's answer:

After giving birth, if the menstrual flow is excessive, it may be a sign of postpartum qi and blood deficiency, which could be due to a weaker constitution. Traditional Chinese medicine methods can be used to repair and nourish the body. Proper use of herbal medicine for a period of time can be helpful. In the future, it is important to develop good habits, maintain a balanced diet, avoid spicy foods, and consume more easily digestible and nutritious foods. Pay attention to getting adequate rest.
