What should I do if my menstrual cycle is abnormal after childbirth?

Patient's question:

Hello!
I gave birth via cesarean section on October 24th, and my lochia didn’t stop until November 25th. However, my period came on December 23rd and ended by the 27th. But then, on January 3rd, I had dark red lochia again. I’m not sure if it’s my period or something else. I’m very scared, and I also feel that my body isn’t doing well. Could you please tell me if this is normal or if there’s a problem? Also, my blood type is very rare—AB negative RH negative. I don’t know if it has anything to do with it.

Doctor's answer:

Go to the hospital for examination and accept treatment if necessary. It should be avoided to undergo surgery that may cause damage to the endometrium; the birth control pill should be alternated with other contraceptive measures to avoid excessive suppression of pituitary function caused by long-term use of birth control pills. Eat more loofah. Loofah is neutral in nature and sweet in taste, with the functions of promoting blood circulation, cooling blood, and detoxifying, which is very helpful for regulating irregular menstruation.
