Doctor, I gave birth by cesarean section for about 14-15 days and I didn't see any more discharge, but after a few days and now I sometimes have bleeding or dark brown discharge?

Hello! Postpartum discharge is a normal physiological phenomenon. Postpartum discharge usually lasts from 2 to 4 weeks depending on the body of each person. Normal discharge will not have a bad smell, only a slight fishy smell, usually lasts about 20 days, a few women can last from 40-45 days and the amount will also decrease markedly. If you see an abnormal discharge such as a bad smell, pus, or a prolonged discharge or dark red and bleeding, you need to monitor the case of retained placenta after delivery.
However, to get a correct diagnosis, you need to go to a reputable medical facility or you can go to the clinics and hospitals of Vinmec Health System nationwide for more advice.
