Patient's question:
On January 22, 2019, I had a cesarean section. The deadline today is 54 days. The reason for the cesarean section was a slightly high temperature during the normal delivery. At 46 days postpartum, I went to the hospital for a follow-up check-up. The hospital performed an internal examination and took a color Doppler ultrasound, and a thorough examination showed no problems. Today, I suddenly had blood-colored discharge from the vagina, similar to the onset of menstruation, but I am currently breastfeeding. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
According to the patient's condition, it is recommended to consider doing an ultrasound to check the intrauterine situation at the moment, to see if there are any problems, and whether it can be infectious. Currently, it is not considered to be related to menstruation. Generally, it takes 3-6 months after childbirth for menstruation to return. In such cases, it is still recommended to go to the hospital for examination. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients with cesarean section also need to pay attention to maintaining a proper diet and good habits to digest and absorb nutrients in daily life.
