Posted on Wed, 31 May 2017

Question: Hi I'm having my periods for 53 days from my delivery.. it was a normal delivery with epidural anaesthesia injection. M doctor said that the periods would last for 50 days ... As the doctor said, it was stopped for last two days and started again today (53rd day). When will my periods be stopped ??

Brief Answer:
Ultrasound scan required

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

This is abnormal to have bleeding for such a long time.

I suggest you get ultrasound scan done to identify if there is any problem in uterus.

If ultrasound scan is normal, request your doctor to start tranexamic acid tablets to control bleeding.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

Regards

Thank you Doctor. And one more thing, I have had two. GARDASIL injections dated on Apr 2nd, and May. 2nd. I'm continuing IDEFER and ORATATE tablets as advised by my doctor. Would it caused this problem ?
