Period after C-section?

I had a c-section and my tubes tied in July 2004. Since then, my periods are long, heavy for 4-5 days, and clotty. Is this normal or should l discuss it with my doctor? I heard going back on birth control may help. Any advice??

You should discuss it with your doctor, but I have heard a few other women complain about the same things after tubals. I don't think it's anything terribly worrysome, but if you are uncomfortable or concerned, you should certainly talk to your doctor. Birth control is great to regulate periods and to reduce the unpleasant symptoms of periods.

Just call your doctor.

WHY YOU ASKING US, YOU SHOULD BE ASKING YOUR DOCTOR.

Sounds to me like you might be becoming somewhat concerned about it. And after two years, this kind of period, I assume is not your pre birth norm, I suggest that you lay your mind to rest and see your doctor.
Though to be honest, I suspect it is more a result of having had birth than anything to do with the c-section. The waste blood is heavier because the uterus is better at preparing for birth is all, but in any case, see your doctor, put your mind at ease.
