I had a C-section in August last year.. I was bleeding then for one month, stopper for 3 days and then again... Doctors said that it was menses the second time round although I was breast feeding. They said that some women do get their menses even when they are still breast feeding.. (Only breast feed no other formula).. I get occasional bleeding (not during period) here and there.. Its like getting menses twice a month and they last not less than a week. Anyway that stopped in March/ February, and now its started again. I have seen a gynae 3 times and he says nothing is wrong its just healing. Is this normal?

I would say that if you doubt your gyno, you should seek a second opinion. If they aren't answering your questions, you should let them know. It took me a while to figure that one out. As for your question, it has nothing to do with healing- i've never heard of that before. It has to do with breast feeding. It changes your cycles due to the hormonal response. If you want to be regular again, ask for some birth control pills from your doctor. I would have to say that the C section has nothing to do with it.

you might have a underlying problem if your doctor wont help you get another sometimes they dont want to admit there is something wrong because of malpractice lawsuits. August last year it should already be healed. i have had 2 c sections myself and i have had problems but not what you have. i breastfed my last one and i bled for 2 weeks and didnt until i started to wean him off after 9 months.

after i had mine i bled for 3 weeks and then it went back to normal. if i were you i would go to a completely different Dr's office and get a second opinion. If they agree with your old Dr then you will have peace of mind, if not then you can get the help you need. Good luck
