Is it normal to have a menstrual period 42 days after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

Hello, I had a Cesarean section and got my period 42 days after the surgery. It lasted for about five to six days, but then I had another period after more than ten days. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if the child is breastfed, the menstrual period will return to normal only after six months postpartum. According to your description, this is an abnormal phenomenon. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to check how the uterus has fully recovered. In addition to timely treatment for a cesarean section, patient friends should always maintain a positive attitude when facing the disease. Only in this way can the patient receive timely and appropriate treatment. At the same time, it is important to pay close attention to dietary care and monitor changes in your symptoms. It is believed that this will surely drive away the cesarean section.
