What is the reason for the translucent white discharge after childbirth?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I had a Cesarean section for my second child. I am breastfeeding. The lochia cleared up on the fifteenth day after delivery. It has been a translucent white discharge since the 28th day until now, the 39th day. It is white and transparent during the day, but by 4:00 PM, it becomes white discharge mixed with blood... Sometimes it is more, sometimes less. ...There is no blood after washing my buttocks at night... This cycle repeats every day. Hello, what is going on with me?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description of the sound, the period within forty-two days after childbirth is called the postpartum period. During the postpartum period, it is normal for lochia to continue to discharge. It is recommended that you pay attention to rest and maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia to prevent infection. In addition to treatment for cesarean section, it is advised that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
