Patient's question:
On October 21st, I had a C-section. By day 40, my lochia had completely stopped. During the postpartum check-up, the doctor said my recovery was excellent. Two days after the re-examination, I had another bout of lochia, which took about seven days to subside but didn't completely stop. Now, at over 70 days, it has returned again. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
It shouldn't be a big problem. Due to individual differences, a small number of people have normal menstrual cycles during breastfeeding. If you have a menstrual cycle, you need to pay attention to contraceptive measures when having sexual intercourse to avoid getting pregnant again. For patients, if the condition is severe after a cesarean section, immediate symptomatic treatment should be provided, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of the cesarean section. Additionally, patients need to maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition.
