Hello,
Light to moderate vaginal bleeding may persist for 2-4 weeks in most cases after delivery. If it persists even for 3 months and pus discharge needs to be evaluated. It may be caused by uterus that doesn't contract properly, possibly as a result of fragments of the placenta or the amniotic sac that remain in the uterus after birth, an infection, or both. I suggest you to get one pelvic ultrasound scan to check for intrauterine remnants or other pathology.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
