Patient's question:
At 50 days post Cesarean section, my lochia has been clean for a week. Today, there is a small amount of reddish-brown discharge again. When I wipe with paper, it's bright red. What could be the reason, doctor?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, after the lochia has completely stopped for 40 days postpartum, there is a small amount of brown discharge. It is preliminarily considered to be the start of menstruation. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for an abdominal ultrasound to check the full recovery of the uterus. Rest well in the near future, maintain a good mood, change your underwear frequently, and for severe cases of cesarean section, it is advised to seek medical attention immediately. Follow the doctor's advice for immediate treatment and do not change new medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect on the treatment.
