Patient's question:
My wife had a cesarean section surgery. She originally planned to have a natural birth, but because the baby was too big, she ended up having a cesarean section after the doctor's recommendation. Now, one month after the cesarean section, my wife has had her period twice, and we are very worried. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Your wife had two menstrual periods in one month after undergoing a cesarean section. This is normal because she has just had surgery, and there will be this discharge from the vagina. So, the menstrual period during this time is not normal. It may last for about a month after the period starts, or it may come several times in a month. At 42 days after a cesarean section, the organs in the uterine cavity have basically returned to normal. After that, the menstrual period will gradually become normal. The daily treatment for cesarean section patients mainly involves oral medication.
