When does menstruation come after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

After five months of a Caesarean section, my period came back today, and suddenly black blood appeared on my body. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Whether the menstrual period comes early or late after a cesarean section mainly depends on whether breastfeeding is possible. For you, it is quite normal to have it within a year.
Now you have black blood, which might be the result of blood clots. You can start taking motherwort to promote blood circulation, and then wait until next month to observe closely. Sometimes, it happens because the body hasn’t fully recovered from the long period of no menstruation.
Cesarean sections can bring significant harm to patients. Once you notice any symptoms, it’s important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, pay close attention to your diet, focusing on light and nutritious foods.
