What Causes Prolonged Menstrual Bleeding Postpartum?
Question: So I had gave birth almost 4 months ago, but for some reason I am getting heavy discharge all the time, its normal smelling and clear. I don't understand because before I never went through this, I use liner pads non stop. Is this normal for women after birth.? I just want it to slow down
Brief Answer:
Get examined by Gynecologist.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns.
Usually the vaginal discharge does not last for such a long time after delivery. If you are doing heavy work, you may experience such discharge. Other reasons for increased discharge are cervical erosion and vaginal infection.
It is important that you get internal examination done by Gynecologist to see if there is cervical erosion. It is important that vaginal swab is sent for culture and sensitivity to see if there is infection.
I hope this is helpful.
Best wishes,
Dr Rama
