Brief Answer:
Dysfunctional uterine bleeding

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Irregular and heavy bleeding after caesarean section can be due to dysfunctional uterine bleeding or fibroids.
I suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined, investigated including ultrasound and get appropriate treatment.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
