Question 1

i had my 4th c section and tubes tied a little over a week ago and am having orange slimy blood discharge is this normal?

Accepted Answer

It's possible: 1 week post surgery may have some of these symptoms, but you need to call your surgeon, as they need to know your post-surgical issues for continuity of care and can examine you to assure all is well post surgically.  Best wishes.

Question 2

i got my periods 2 months  after my c section. the following month i didn't get it at all..is this normal.am still breastfeeding my baby?

Accepted Answer

Normal : after Your baby was born, the hormone levels in your body will decrease over time (2 - 3 months), your menstrual period may return.  Breast-feeding is a wonderful thing to do for you and your baby. Breast-feeding causes levels of other hormones to increase. These hormones will decrease the frequency of your menstrual periods but do not stop your period - 100% of time.  call OB doctor for appt.

Question 3

after my c-section my period lasts for 20 days again my periods started within 15 days. is this is normal.then when will be my ovulation starts.

Accepted Answer

Not to worry: Bleeding right after birth is completely normal and is called lochia.It is heaviest in the first few days following delivery and slowly tapers off and thins out over an average of 1 month but can last up to 6-8 weeks.Normal menstruation typically returns around 45-64 days postpartum and ovulation resumes ranging anywhere from 45-94 days after birth but can occur as early as 25 days postpartum

Question 4

my wife had c-section two months her periods began on 30th april ended on 4th may but after two days again spotted bleeding is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Irregular periods: Irregular periods are very common. If you normally have regular periods and then suddenly have one that is early or late this usually gets better on its own with cycles returning to normal over the next few months.  If you are not wanting to be pregnant you should discuss birth control which will also help with cycle control.

Question 5

i had a baby 4 month ago via c section. at the time my tubes were tied also. i've had 3 periods and during ovulation i get brown tinged mucus. normal?

Yes: Spotting in mid-cycle is not uncommon due to a normal dip in hormone levels.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 6

i gave birth c-section a month and 10 days ago i was bleeding on and off .. i had very light blood for 4days now would that be my periods ?

Cesarean section: If you are not breastfeeding it could be your period. Its normal to bleed a little after all deliveries, that is called lochia. At the begining is red then it changes color to a more pale one.  Your doctor would have to do a physical exam to make sure your uterus is well contracted after delivery and that everything is normal.

Accepted Answer

After : After pregnancy it takes a while for your hormones to stabilize, this means you could have irregular periods for quite awhile, which could be the cause of the bleeding. If you are breastfeeding this further complicates the issue, and could add to abnormalities in your cycle.  However, if you are having light bleeding after intercourse this needs to be evaluated by your ob/gyn. Based on a history and physical your doctor can determine if this bleeding is normal, or caused by another issue. Try not to worry, it is likely your body adjusting to a post-pregnancy state, and the bleeding is a result of a hormonal imbalance that should soon correct itself.

Question 10

i got a c-section 2 weeks ago and i looked at it today and there is leakage down there it's an orange color is it an infection ?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: It is probably clear (/serous) drainage with some blood in it that looks more orange than red. You should call you ob/gyn, however, as this is not common. Not an emergency unless having increasing pain / fevers / nausea & vomiting.
