How to handle postpartum menstruation not stopping after a cesarean section

Patient's question:

After three months of not producing milk after a C-section, I got my period three months later. The first two months were normal with heavy flow, but the third month came a week early with initially very little brown discharge, which gradually increased over the last three days. It's now the eighth day, and it's still red. What could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

Due to physical conditions, catching a cold, overexertion, hormonal levels, and other reasons, menstrual irregularities may occur. It is recommended to rest well first, avoid excessive strain, relax your mood, eat less extremely cold and spicy foods, and maintain cleanliness and hygiene in the external genital area. It is best to undergo an ultrasound examination to identify the cause and provide targeted treatment and care.
Additionally, for cesarean section patients during the recovery period, their dietary condition and nursing care are also crucial. Patients must pay attention to rest and can engage in appropriate activities.
