Patient's question:
I gave birth to my child via cesarean section 4 months ago in the hospital, but I have been experiencing intermittent bleeding for these past few months. I'm a bit scared and would like to ask what to do if you have intermittent bleeding 4 months after a cesarean section?Doctor's answer:
Postpartum lochia generally lasts for 4 to 6 weeks, with a total volume of about 500 ML. If the uterus is not repaired properly or there is residual placenta, fetal membrane, or infection in the uterine cavity, the amount of lochia will continuously increase, the duration of bloody lochia will be prolonged, and it will have a foul odor. Your condition does not rule out infection or poor uterine involution after surgery. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a follow-up examination to rule out infection factors and pay attention to rest and enhance nutrition. For patients, if the cesarean section condition is severe, symptomatic treatment should be immediately provided with appropriate medication. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of cesarean section. In addition, patients also need to have a proper diet and maintain a happy mood.
