What is the reason for sudden increase in lochia after cesarean section?

Patient's question:

Hello, I would like to ask, after a cesarean section, there was no lochia for the first ten days, and suddenly it increased again after ten days, what is the reason?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, postpartum lochia usually stops around 42 days. The first ten days are bloody lochia, and after that, it becomes serous lochia. According to your description, it's still normal as it hasn't been 42 days yet. It is recommended to visit the hospital at 42 days to check the thorough recovery of the uterus. For cesarean section patients, in addition to understanding and treating symptoms, folk remedies can be used as supplementary therapy in daily life. Proper diet is necessary in daily meals to avoid stimulating foods.
