Patient's question:
I have already had a C-section for nearly a month, and it has been bleeding continuously. What should I do if the lochia is bright red on the 21st day after the C-section?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you solve your question. Whether it's a natural birth or a cesarean section, having lochia is a normal phenomenon. If after 21 days of a cesarean section there is still bleeding, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a gynecological ultrasound examination. It is likely that there is poor endometrial repair or residual issues, and sometimes a decision to have a D&C (dilation and curettage) may be necessary to resolve the problem. This is not a normal phenomenon. In addition to treating the cesarean section, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
