Patient's question:
I've been having a C-section for 43 days now. The lochia has reduced to a little bit, is this normal? How long does it usually take to clear up?Doctor's answer:
I suspect your condition should be considered due to poor postpartum uterine involution or retained products of conception. It is recommended that you promptly undergo an ultrasound re-examination at the hospital you are affiliated with. If the diagnosis indicates retained tissue, a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure will be necessary. If there is no residual tissue, anti-inflammatory and uterotonic medication can be administered for treatment. Cesarean section poses significant harm to patients, and once symptoms are detected, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, dietary issues should be given close attention, with a focus on light and nutritious foods. It is hoped that cesarean section patients can receive professional medical care.
