What is the cause of bleeding one month after delivery?

Some women experience slight vaginal bleeding after childbirth. This phenomenon usually stops when the next menstruation comes. At this time, you should go to the hospital for an examination, mainly to determine whether there is infection in the birth canal and other reproductive organs. In addition, you should also carefully check whether there is a tear in the birth canal. If so, it should be sutured in time.

From a medical point of view, based on the tissue morphology of the endometrium, the ovaries may be able to ovulate as early as 33-42 days after delivery. In addition, the presence of a corpus luteum after ovulation can also be observed 6 weeks after delivery. Therefore, if the mother does not breastfeed, menstruation usually comes within 6 to 8 weeks after delivery. Research data show that 40% of non-breastfeeding mothers resume ovulation 6 weeks after delivery.

By 8-12 weeks after delivery, only about 35% of women have not resumed ovulation and menstruation. About 25% of breastfeeding mothers will resume ovulation and menstruation 12 weeks after delivery, and most breastfeeding mothers usually take until 18 weeks to fully resume ovulation function. However, it is sometimes difficult to clinically determine the exact time of the first menstrual period after delivery, and a small number of women will begin to have intermittent bleeding of small to moderate amounts immediately after delivery.

Normally, after giving birth, a woman will have a menstrual-like bloody discharge from her birth canal. This bleeding from the placenta, mixed with the decidua, tissue fragments, and mucus remaining in the uterus, is called lochia.

Bleeding one month after delivery may be menstruation, of course this phenomenon is a more common one. In addition, women may have residual blood stasis after childbirth. In this case, the amount of bleeding is small, but the blood is brown, or blood clots appear. At this time, you must go to the hospital for a detailed examination and clean up the blood stasis in time, otherwise it is very easy to cause infection.
