Brief Answer:
Need ultrasound scan

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

This bleeding could be due to remaining portion of some part of placenta. If bleeding is heavy you need to see your doctor for ultrasound scan to identify reasons for bleeding.

I give tablet pause MF 500 mg twice a day for 3 days to my patients if bleeding is not heavy. You can try the same after consulting your doctor.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
