Patient's Query
Hello Doctor,
I am a 27-year-old female weighing 64 kg. I delivered my baby last month and got my period this month. I have pain and bleeding with lochia. I am taking Faa-20 iron supplements once a day, prescribed by my gynecologist. Kindly suggest.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. I suggest you answer the following questions:
1. How do you know it is lochia?
2. Did you see any sacs or membranes?
I also suggest you do the following tests to check your pregnancy status:
1. Serum beta-hCG test
2. Transvaginal scan.
If the pregnancy test is positive with or without bleeding. I suggest you consult a gynecologist for further evaluation. If the pregnancy test is negative, I suggest you take the tablets Ponstan (Mefenamic acid) 500 mg and Tranexamic acid (antifibrinolytic agent) 500 mg thrice a day for three to five days.
I hope this helps you.
Thank you.
