Postpartum bleeding after a cesarean section, what's wrong?

Patient's question:

Today is the 76th day after a C-section, and I suddenly have some bleeding again. The blood is quite dark. Is this normal, or is something not fully healed? When I thought the discharge had completely stopped about a month ago, it started bleeding again on the 45th day and the 55th day, stopping for about a week each time. Yesterday, it started bleeding again. I want to ask the doctor what's going on.

Doctor's answer:

Considering the possibility of menstruation, residual intrauterine tissue, or gynecological inflammation, it is recommended to visit a hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound to check the complete recovery of the uterus. Conduct a routine examination of vaginal discharge to determine if there is any gynecological inflammation. Treatment should be targeted based on the examination results. During this period, maintain a light diet and drink plenty of water. For patients facing (Cesarean section) issues, timely symptomatic treatment should be implemented without avoiding medical consultation. If the (Cesarean section) condition does not improve with treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
