Patient's question:
I decided on a cesarean section because I was afraid of pain, but now it has been four months, and there is still lochia. I wonder what could be the reason for the lochia not stopping after four months of a cesarean section?Doctor's answer:
General postpartum lochia usually takes 4-6 weeks to completely discharge, but your situation has been four months, so it is considered abnormal. It may be related to poor uterine recovery or a recurrence of intrauterine infection during surgery. It is best to have a timely and thorough examination. The patient needs to go to a formal Grade 3A hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examination based on their condition, so that they can receive symptomatic treatment and recover quickly.
