Return of menstruation or still lochia? Should I be more concerned or wait a few days to see how it evolves?

If you have recently given birth and are experiencing heavy bleeding, it is not uncommon for the bleeding to continue for a few weeks postpartum. However, if the bleeding becomes very heavy or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, it would be advisable to consult with a healthcare provider. It is also important to monitor for any signs of infection, such as fever or foul-smelling discharge. If the bleeding starts to lessen and change color, it could be a positive sign that your body is starting to recover. Consulting with a gynecologist can provide you with more personalized advice and support during this time.
