Is it normal to have severe bleeding 2-3 days after the menstrual period ends after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

After a cesarean section, my first period has already ended for two or three days. During these two or three days, nothing remained; it was completely clean. But this afternoon, suddenly there was blood again down there. What could be the reason? Is it urgent? Is it abnormal menstruation?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description, it is likely that the recurrence of skin breakdown after menstruation was caused by some external factor. For example: discomfort, sexual intercourse, soaking in a bath, or overexertion can all lead to skin breakdown after menstruation, and it should be unrelated to a cesarean section. In fact, having a cesarean section is not frightening at all. The patient should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as treatment is timely when the condition is detected early, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
