Why does postpartum bleeding recur?

Patient's question:

After the postpartum month, there are 3-4 days of vaginal bleeding each week, with a small amount, bright red in color, and no odor. The body also feels no discomfort. Bleeding began after delivery and lasted for three or four days before turning into leukorrhea. After a few days, the bleeding started again, and this cycle has repeated three times so far. Each time, the amount of bleeding is slightly less than the previous time. During the postpartum checkup, the doctor suspected it was menstruation.

Doctor's answer:

Hello:
With the first cry of the newborn baby, the fetus is born into the world, bringing immense joy to the mother. However, as people immerse themselves in happiness, they should also be vigilant about the occurrence of postpartum hemorrhage.
Medically, bleeding from the vagina after the delivery of the fetus within 24 hours, with a volume exceeding 500 milliliters, is referred to as postpartum hemorrhage. / Generally, 80% of postpartum hemorrhage occurs within the first 24 hours, particularly during the stage from the delivery of the fetus to the expulsion of the placenta, which should be paid special attention to.
