What Causes Persistent Bleeding After Undergoing Cesarean Delivery?

Hi there,I had a c-section and my tubes removed at the same time just over 5 weeks ago. A week ago I started really heavy bleeding and it has not stopped yet. It literally pours out. Is this normal and will my periods go back to normal? I am due to have my 6 week check up next week and will ask my doctor then but just want to know in the meantime. I haven t stopped bleeding since I had my baby. Thanks

Hello,

Bleeding after weeks is unusual. Consult a gynaecologist and get evaluated. An ultrasound abdomen is required to rule out conditions like retained products of conception.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
