Patient's question:
After a caesarean section, around 40 days, the lochia almost stopped, and then on the 42nd day, I had an ultrasound and found that the uterus had completely healed well. However, about 2 months later, I started bleeding again, but the amount was very small and could be managed with sanitary pads. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, your period came 2 months after childbirth, but the amount was not significant. Recommendation: Although your period came 2 months after childbirth, it doesn't necessarily mean it will come every month thereafter. Menstruation during breastfeeding is not a normal phenomenon, mainly because the secretion of prolactin during breastfeeding can lead to changes in the endocrine system, so menstruation during breastfeeding is not normal. If your period comes 2 months after childbirth, pay close attention to breastfeeding. As long as your period comes, it means you may have menopause, and menopause may lead to childbirth. For the patient, if the cesarean section condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be given, and appropriate medication should be used, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of the cesarean section. In addition, the patient needs to maintain a cheerful mood to avoid worsening the condition.
