Postpartum hemorrhage after cesarean section

Patient's question:

The cesarean section surgery was performed at the hospital. A few days later, severe bleeding occurred, leading to the removal of the uterus.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is normal to have lochia for ten days after a cesarean section. If there is bleeding when pressing the abdomen and the lochia is normal without significant abdominal pain or bloating, it should not be a major issue, possibly just lochia. If there is significant abdominal pain or bloating, it cannot be ruled out that there may be blood accumulation. In this case, it is necessary to consider a follow-up ultrasound. Wishing you good health. Generally, doctors recommend that women with signs of late postpartum hemorrhage maintain personal hygiene and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should create an environment conducive to emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
