Patient's question:
I just gave birth, and it was a cesarean section. When I was discharged from the hospital, they said that the lochia would be completely cleared up in about a month. However, after my cesarean section, the lochia hasn't stopped for 2.5 months yet. What should I do? Did I handle something incorrectly or eat something wrong?Doctor's answer:
After a cesarean section, the lochia has not cleared up for two months. There may be inflammation or poor uterine involution in the uterine cavity, which could lead to infection. It is recommended to consider undergoing an ultrasound examination at the hospital as soon as possible to confirm the diagnosis. After confirmation, medication should be used to reduce inflammation, promote blood circulation, and regulate menstruation. If the remaining tissue area is large, a D&C (dilation and curettage) surgery may be necessary to resolve the issue. Treatment should be guided by the clinical diagnosis of the doctor and tailored to the specific condition.Facing the effects of a cesarean section, patients should actively take treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If the condition does not improve after prolonged treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
