Patient's question:
Doctor, I'm about three days away from my due date, a bit excited yet a bit anxious. There are supposed to be many things to pay attention to after giving birth, and if not done properly, it might leave behind pain. What are the nursing measures for postpartum hemorrhage?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, postpartum care mainly involves maintaining the cleanliness of the external genital area, washing it daily, and also carefully observing postpartum bleeding. After giving birth, the first two weeks involve bloody lochia, followed by serous lochia and white lochia, which generally last for about 3 to 4 weeks. The main focus is to maintain cleanliness of the external genital area to prevent retrograde infection, leading to conditions such as sepsis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and endometritis.
