Continuous Bleeding With Intake Of Cerazette After Childbirth. History Of Taking Antibiotics For UTI. No Help From Doubling Dose Of Cerazette. Help

I have been taking cerazette after having my first baby 4 months ago and have been bleeding almost non stop since. I had a uterine infection 2 months ago which was treated with antibiotics and the bleeding stopped for about a week but has since continued. Gp recommended doubling dose of cerazette which after 10 days hasn't made any difference what could be wrong?

Hello,

Thanks for posting on HCM,

At this stage, I do believe that the cause of this postpartum hemorrhage should be investigated further instead of taking cerazette (progsterone hormone). Most common causes of late postpartum hemorrhage could be uterine atony, retained products and unlikely tear. If you are taking cerazette and any of the above causes are responsible then it is useless taking it.
I think you should have been referred to a gynobs a while ago as bleeding for 4 months could be very fatal.
Having uterine infection could be as a result of retained products and will need to be evacuated with D&C.

Hope this helps and wish you the best
