Causes of bleeding after cesarean section

Generally, we will experience bleeding symptoms within a few days after a caesarean section, which is mainly caused by the discharge of lochia and the delivery of the placenta, so mothers do not need to worry too much, as long as you change your underwear frequently and pay attention to personal hygiene. The bleeding time after cesarean section is longer than that after natural delivery, but if the bleeding symptoms last for a long time, you will pay attention to it, as it may be caused by uterine disease.

After the baby is born, the placenta is also delivered. Afterwards, the vagina will discharge some brown-red liquid containing blood, necrotic decidual tissue, bacteria and mucus, which is medically called "lochia". Xuan Qingshan said that many mothers know that to observe whether the postpartum lochia is normal, they need to look at the changes in the quality and quantity, color and smell of the lochia. If the lochia is always dark red, purulent, large in quantity, smelly, and accompanied by abdominal pain, it will often arouse the mother's vigilance.

It is normal to bleed for about half a month after a caesarean section. If the bleeding continues before half a month, you should go to the hospital for relevant examinations. If you have bloating, you can take some medicine to aid digestion. The lochia duration after cesarean section is generally longer than that of natural birth. A small amount of blood can be observed. You can buy some medicine to help the uterus recover, such as motherwort, Chanfukang, etc. If the bleeding is heavy, you must go to the hospital at any time. Be alert to heavy bleeding caused by poor uterine involution during the postpartum period.

The lochia duration of women who have cesarean section is longer than that of women who have vaginal delivery. The amount of lochia is large, the color is bright red, and it contains a large amount of blood, small blood clots and necrotic decidual tissue. It is called red lochia. After one week to half a month, the amount of blood in the lochia decreases, and there are more necrotic decidua, cervical mucus, vaginal secretions and bacteria, which makes the lochia turn into light red serous fluid. The lochia at this time is called serous lochia.
