Patient's question:
When I gave birth, I decided on a cesarean section, and the wound healed in about half a month. The lochia after delivery lasted for a long time. At the 42-day check-up, there was occasionally a little bit, but not much. The ultrasound showed that the uterus had mostly recovered normally. Now I'm very worried. Some of my friends said it usually cleans up around 3 weeks, but I still have a very small amount of light red lochia two months after the cesarean, and I feel it's taking too long, which makes me quite concerned. What medicine should I take?Doctor's answer:
Most pregnant women experience lochia after a cesarean section, which lasts for about 30 days. You have already been two and a half months postpartum, and apart from lochia, this is not normal. It may be due to poor uterine involution. I recommend taking blood-activating and blood-stasis-dispersing medications, such as Chao Neng Granules or Yi Mu Cao Granules. You can also engage in regular walking to help with wound healing and uterine involution. In addition to symptomatic treatment for the cesarean section, patients also need to pay attention to their diet.
