Patient's question:
After a cesarean section, I ate chicken soup noodles (with ginseng) every day during the postpartum period. After the postpartum period, there was only blood on the ground below. Is there a connection?Doctor's answer:
Ginseng has the effect of invigorating blood circulation, so although it is good for postpartum body recovery, it may cause excessive bleeding in individuals who already have bleeding symptoms. However, it is still best to first visit the hospital for a thorough examination to check the recovery of the uterus.1. If postpartum bleeding persists for less than 42 days, it is generally not normal. Possible causes include:
- Residual fetal membranes remaining in the uterine cavity;
- Poor uterine recovery;
- Cracks in uterine scars.
2. If fetal membranes are present, it is necessary to undergo timely uterine evacuation for effective treatment. For other conditions, medication to tighten the uterus can be used.
