Postpartum bleeding
I had a c section on 5 November. The bleeding after that was lighter in colour and volume after 3-4 days and continued for 20 days.
Now since yesterday,it has started again slightly and the colour is like that of menstrual cycle, but it is very less in amount just like one tea spoon . I don't need to wear pad till now.
What could be the reason. Can postpartum bleeding start again ? How long it can continue?

Postpartum bleeding can continue upto 45 days
So this bleeding is normal
Needs to be investigated if continues beyond 45 days
