“Even after 45 days of my delivery I am continuing to bleed heavily. Could there be a problem?”
I delivered my baby 45 days back and I am still continuing to bleed heavily. Is there something wrong with me internally or is this normal? Should I consult my doctor?

I would see a doctor. Rarely, placenta could have maintained attachment inside the uterus. Also, you could have achieved another pregnancy and could be having a miscarriage. Another option is that you could be having an unusually heavy first cycle, but bleeding heavily for more than a week is not usually a normal condition. If you soak through more than one maxi pad per hour, we believe that is too much, clinically. Call your doctor for evaluation. He/she may need some bloodworm or labs and an ultrasound of the uterus to see what’s going on. Molar pregnancy is unusual, but does occur very rarely. Ask your ob/gyn.

I think you should go see your doctor to make sure that you haven't developed an infection and to exclude other causes. Are you breast feeding?
