Patient's question:
Doctor: I have been postpartum for over 50 days after a cesarean section. The lochia has basically stopped after the full moon, but now there are always secretions on my underwear, making it wet and a bit purple-black and sticky. It feels quite dirty, so I feel very uncomfortable. Could you please tell me what's going on and how to solve this? Thank you, Doctor!Doctor's answer:
Generally, postpartum lochia tends to last within 50 days, and after half a month postpartum, the bleeding will gradually decrease, possibly resulting in irregular vaginal bleeding. As for menstruation, it is related to whether breastfeeding. Most breastfeeding women rarely have their period within six months, while those who are artificially fed will form regular ovulation and menstruation after the uterus recovers. It is recommended to have an ultrasound follow-up.
