Patient's question:
My child born via C-section, I have been out of the postpartum period for a week, but I am still bleeding. It's not much each time, is this normal? I thought it was said that it would stop after half a month, but I've been bleeding for almost a month now.Doctor's answer:
During the postpartum period, I didn't overexert myself too much. Could it be due to inadequate rest or catching a cold? Under normal circumstances, the bloody lochia should subside around half a month. Prolonged bleeding could be caused by catching a cold or overexertion, leading to poor uterine contraction. However, it's also possible that there are remnants in the uterine cavity. In this case, it's best to go to the hospital for a few ultrasound examinations to check the condition of the uterine cavity. Once it's confirmed that there are no remnants, you can use some topical medications. This is the advice for the question "I had a cesarean section, and I've been postpartum for a week," hoping it helps you. Wishing you good health!
