What is the reason for spotting after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

25 years old, first C-section, no residual checked carefully before discharge, lochia clean after 20 days, stopped for 10 days, then bleeding appeared again, water red in color

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, it is speculated that the appearance of red discharge 30 days after cesarean section is likely a normal menstrual period, so there is no need to worry excessively. After the surgery, it is recommended to rest more and maintain a proper diet. Breastfeeding can promote the repair of the endometrium. It is important to keep the external genitalia clean at all times. Cesarean section patients can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment in addition to receiving standard medical care, while maintaining a proper diet in daily life and avoiding stimulating foods.
