Hello, based on your description and symptoms, it is due to postpartum physical weakness and decreased immunity, prolonged bleeding leading to vaginal infection, which has resulted in symptoms of vaginitis.Recommendations:
For your condition, if the bleeding is not heavy, it is recommended that you clean the external genital area before going to bed each night and then apply medication locally to the vagina, such as Baofukang suppositories.
