How to deal with incomplete lochia after cesarean section

Patient's question:

Because the fetus is relatively large, it is difficult to have a natural birth, so it was a cesarean section. However, there is now a recurrence of incomplete lochia. What should I do about incomplete lochia after a cesarean section?

Doctor's answer:

Postpartum lochia not ceasing after more than a month, if it has decreased, it may be due to poor uterine contraction or inflammation. It is best to promptly visit the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound examination to identify the cause. Some patients may still require medication for treatment. Patients should develop good daily habits, maintain regular sleep schedules, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence of the condition.
