Cesarean section for 47 days and menstruation has not stopped, is it normal?

Patient's question:

I had a C-section 47 days ago, but my period hasn't stopped yet. Is that normal? I'm a bit worried. Thank you, doctor!

Doctor's answer:

This is not normal. Generally, menstruation occurs at least two months after a cesarean section, but you experienced it shortly after the surgery, which is clearly abnormal. Currently, it is believed to be an abnormal condition, likely due to incomplete removal of the fetal membranes. It is recommended to undergo a gynecological ultrasound as soon as possible to determine if there is any residue in the uterine cavity. If there is residual tissue, it will need to be removed promptly.
In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients who have undergone a cesarean section should pay attention to maintaining a good mood in their daily lives. A positive attitude greatly assists in the complete recovery from the illness. I hope the above information helps you. Thank you!
