Bleeding 5 weeks post ELCS

My bleeding initially stopped around day 10, after doing the full cycle of colours.
It then restarted, accompanied by a lot of pain, and passed some placenta, and was given 7 days of antibiotics .
Bleeding settled to brown spotting, then back to heavy, clotty dark red within 24 hours of finishing abx.
I'm now 5 weeks post section, heavy bleeding for a week.
Hospital have done a scan and told be everything is fine.
I don't feel like it is, because the bleeding had initially stopped, and it's really heavy now.
Exclusively breastfeeding, so doubtful it was my period returning at 4 weeks pp.
Has anyone experienced similar? Hospital are making me feel like a bit of a nuisance really, and maybe I am overthinking it.
