Patient's question:
On August 20th, I had a cesarean section. I have milk but have been taking weaning medication. My lochia cleared up in over 20 days. Now, at 37 days, I'm experiencing bleeding from below. Is it my period?Doctor's answer:
If the current skin peeling is dark red and the same color as the normal menstrual period, it should be considered menstruation. Generally, menstruation returns completely after 6 weeks or more after a cesarean section. The occurrence of menstruation on the 37th day does not necessarily indicate an abnormality. If there are no other physical discomforts or the skin peeling color is normal, it should be treated as menstruation, and attention should be paid to rest and personal hygiene. Cesarean section brings significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to self-care. Increase the intake of vegetables and fruits, avoid stimulating foods, and hope that cesarean section patients can receive professional treatment.
