Patient's question:
I had a cesarean section last month and gave birth to a baby. Now it has been more than one and a half months, and the lochia has stopped, but I have already had my period. However, this time, my period has lasted for 10 days and has not stopped yet. Before I had the baby, it was usually about a week. I want to ask if the prolonged menstrual period is related to the cesarean section?Doctor's answer:
Last month, I had a cesarean section, and now my baby's lochia has subsided. However, my menstruation has returned for more than ten days. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound examination to check for any remnants. If there are no remnants, it is suggested to take Yimucao and Xinchuangneng Granules orally to promote uterine involution. It is also important to maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia and pay attention to personal hygiene. Prolonged menstruation is related to cesarean delivery. For patients facing cesarean delivery issues, we should actively implement careful examination and treatment.
