Brief Answer:
It could be due to retained products of conception
Detailed Answer:
Hello
There could be many causes like retained products of conception, uterine involution, endometritis (infection of uterine inner lining), etc.
I will suggest that you get evaluated by a gynecologist. A pelvic ultrasound and urine analysis will help find cause. This might require a dilatation and curettage to take out any products of infection that may have stayed behind in uterus while removing the placenta.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
