Why is the lochia yellow and fresh red after cesarean section for more than one month?

Patient's question:

I've been having a Caesarean section for 36 days, and the lochia is light yellow. Today when I went to the toilet, there was suddenly blood again, and it was bright red! What's going on?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, this could be a sign that your uterus has not fully recovered or that your period is approaching. It is recommended that you wait and see. If there is only a small amount of bleeding, you can go to the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound. There should be no other issues, and you can take blood-activating and blood-stimulating medication to promote uterine contraction. If the bleeding gradually increases, it may be possible that your period is starting. For cesarean section patients, daily treatment mainly involves medication. Patients can take various oral medications, supplemented with vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoiding cold foods.
