Prolonged mensuration
Hi my wife delivered a baby boy in the month of Feb 17th by csection. Then she had her first periods post delivery on may 25th for 10 days with heavy flow. Then on jul 13th she got her second period after delivery which lasted for about a month but the flow was scarce. Her third period after delivery started on Aug 30th with heavy flow which lasted for 3 weeks and still going on with normal to light flow. She is still breastfeeding. We are worried about the prolonged mensuration. Is it normal for periods to be this much heavy after delivery by csection or should we be really concerned.

While on breast feeding the periods will be irregular and spotting is common.
Since she is getting heavy bleed its a matter of concern.Connect with me for online consultation for details on her management.
She should also start contraception now.
