How to handle post-caesarean sexual intercourse bleeding

Patient's question:

After a Caesarean section, I had sex one month postpartum. Now it's been two months, and occasionally, I have a light red discharge from my vagina, along with clear fluid that smells slightly fishy. An ultrasound shows that my uterus is still a bit enlarged. Could this be related to the sex, and what could be the reason? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Your condition is considered to be contact bleeding. There are many gynecological diseases that can cause contact bleeding, such as vaginitis, cervical polyps, cervical erosion, submucosal uterine fibroids, etc. It is recommended to come to the hospital for relevant examinations to confirm the diagnosis and take targeted treatment measures as soon as possible. Generally, doctors will advise patients with postpartum consultation risk signs to pay attention to keeping warm and avoid coldness. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to having a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
