Menorrhagia refers to a significantly increased amount of menstruation than before, but the menstrual cycle is basically normal. Some women will experience menorrhagia after a caesarean section. This is mainly caused by Qi deficiency and lack of control, or blood heat spreading and overflowing, which makes the Chong and Ren meridians unstable and causes blood to leak out through the meridians. In addition, if the mother has internal blood stasis, it may lead to excessive menstruation after cesarean section.

Normally, excessive menstrual flow after a caesarean section may be normal.
