Patient's question:
On October 15th, I had a full-term induction of labor. The bleeding continued until November 15th without stopping. The doctor prescribed Oxygest tablets for two days, after which there was no bleeding, but there was yellow discharge. On December 2nd, when I had not yet finished a full box of Oxygest tablets, there was bleeding again. Is it my period or incomplete lochia? Should I be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Based on your description, your condition might be related to menstruation. For women who do not use diapers postpartum, menstruation typically returns completely within 6-8 weeks. However, for those who use diapers, the return of menstruation is delayed, and in some cases, it may not return at all during the breastfeeding period. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test. Drink some porridge daily, such as rice porridge, millet porridge, pumpkin and sweet potato porridge, or yam and lotus seed porridge. Pay attention to hygiene, and change your underwear frequently. Also, wash your external genital area regularly.
