Hello,
Wonder if any mums can advise me on an issue I'm having.
I had an emergency C-section that led to delivery of DC1. Cause of GP appointment backlogs I wasn't able to have my postpartum check until 12weeks.
In my appointment I let GP know I had symptoms of a UTI, pain and difficulty urinating (I was barely peeing once a day) - I thought perhaps I needed to up my water intake but that didn't help.
The GP at the time advised the urine stick test indicated I didn't have a UTI and pretty much dismissed all the other symptoms I had, like abdominal pain/cramping and bleeding. But she gave antibiotics anyway which helped the urinating issues but not the bleeding.
Few weeks ago I went to another GP appointment, Doctor was shocked I hadn't had bloods tested following C-section, or any abdominal & vaginal inspection. Apparently my cervix appeared irritated upon inspection and doctor advised she didn't think I had started my periods again, so she ordered a swab test and bloods which apparently have come back clear.
So I just wanted to check if anyone has had a similar experience of still bleeding months after c-section? I'm worried I may have a missed infection
