A member asked:

I had c section 10 days ago and i stop bleeding yesterday and today i began bleeding again bright red. is this bad ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vaginal bleeding does occur after a C section as the uterus sheds its lining as well as other debris left over from pregnancy. However since you stopped bleeding and then started bleeding bright red blood again I recommend you notify your obstetrician for advice. . Retained placental fragments can be a cause.
