What should I do if I have spotting 37 days after a C-section?

Patient's question:

At 37 days post C-section, I haven't seen any blood for over ten days. Yesterday, there was a bit of blood, and today it feels like there's even more. Is it my period or am I catching a cold? Breastfeeding.

Doctor's answer:

According to your situation, if you are breastfeeding, it is relatively rare for menstruation to return completely about a month after childbirth. For your condition, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination. You will need to have a pelvic ultrasound performed, mainly to carefully observe the complete recovery of the uterus and the thickness of the endometrium. In fact, having a cesarean section is not frightening at all. The patient should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as timely treatment is provided at an early stage, the chances of suppressing the condition and recovering are very high.
