hello,
Actually after the delivery youwillhave vaginal discharge and bleeding which is known as lochia and it will continue for some weeks and it is purely normal and it will be resolved by itself but as you described that its too long you need to consult your doctor as there might be some infection and you need to be treated with antibiotics for that.During delivery our normal flora wil be disturbed and sometimes it itself may cause infection.Thank you.

Hi, it appears there is infection in the perineum, or uterus, due to tears in the vegina, during delevery. I advise you to consult a gynacologist for diagnosis and treatment.
I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe fluconazole, cifixime, to clear the infection. Thank you.
