Can you get pregnant the night before having a Caesarean section?

Patient's question:

On the night before the Caesarean section on November 29th, we had sexual intercourse. I hadn't experienced any discharge for two days before taking a bath and then having intercourse. On the third day, I had some yellow discharge, and in the afternoon, I had watery, reddish blood similar to lochia! Could I still get pregnant in this situation? My first child had her period 45 days after giving birth three years ago, so I'm feeling upset.

Doctor's answer:

After a cesarean section, if there is lochia, it is necessary to have a careful ultrasound examination to check for any residual tissue in the uterine cavity. Residual tissue will lead to lochia, and it can be treated with Motherwort ointment to promote its discharge. A careful ultrasound examination can thoroughly observe the recovery of the endometrium. Only after complete recovery is it possible to conceive. Cesarean section conditions are very serious, and it is recommended that patients receive timely and symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues, avoid spicy and irritating foods, to prevent worsening the condition.
