What is the reason for bleeding two months after a caesarean section?

Patient's question:

Two months after the caesarean section, there is still some bleeding, a little bit at a time. Then the doctor said the uterus wasn't contracting well, so I received a few injections. Now it's been five and a half months, and there's a bit of spotting. Is it menstruation? It has been two months in a row, with just a little bit flowing each time, and it stops within two days. Is this normal? What should I do? When should I expect my period to return normally?

Doctor's answer:

The condition described by the patient is that she is having her menstrual period, but currently, due to breastfeeding, the amount of menstrual flow is relatively less than usual. In addition, during the treatment for cesarean delivery, in addition to immediate medical intervention, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. The patient must avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary interference with the complete recovery from the cesarean delivery.
