Why does bleeding occur after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

I had a cesarean section on July 28th, and the bloody lochia lasted from 20 to 26 days with intermittent bleeding of a very small amount of pinkish color for one day. Then on the 40th day, there was intermittent bleeding again with bright red and a larger amount?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the situation you described, the initial discharge was normal postpartum lochia, and the subsequent heavy flow of blood may be due to the onset of menstruation. So, this condition is normal, and there is no need to worry. As long as the lochia arrives on time, it will also clear up accordingly. The doctor's inquiry: There are many treatment methods for cesarean section, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment methods will also differ. Therefore, patients need to have timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive targeted treatment.
