Patient's question:
About two months after a caesarean section, the lochia has already stopped for more than half a month. Yesterday, there was some bleeding from the lower body, and today there is still some. I don't know if it's the start of my period. It has a fishy odor, and there are no symptoms like menstrual cramps or lower back pain before the period. The amount is very large, like water flowing. Is this the start of my period? Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Based on your current symptoms, it is considered normal for menstruation to resume after a cesarean section, although the possibility of infection cannot be ruled out. Generally, in the first few months after a cesarean section, menstrual flow tends to be heavier, which is considered normal. Currently, it is recommended that you pay close attention and observe carefully. If menstruation lasts for an extended period without stopping, it is advisable to seek follow-up treatment at the hospital. The daily treatment for the patient primarily involves medication. The patient can take various oral medications, combined with a variety of vitamins, while also paying attention to self-care, maintaining a proper diet, and avoiding cold foods.
