After a C-section, light bleeding or spotting (lochia) can normally last up to 6–8 weeks and may come and go. The color changing from red to brown/black is also common as old blood clears.
However, you should consult your gynecologist if bleeding continues beyond 6–8 weeks, becomes heavy, foul-smelling, or is associated with fever, pain, or weakness, as it may need evaluation.
A follow-up check and ultrasound (if advised) will help rule out infection or retained products
