Is it normal to have lochia for half a month after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

Postpartum discharge turned from red to yellowish-white after half a month, but then changed back to brownish with a hint of red the next day. Hello, is it normal for postpartum discharge to be like this after half a month?

Doctor's answer:

These are all normal phenomena. After normal childbirth, there is a normal discharge of red lochia, yellow lochia, and white lochia. The yellow lochia typically lasts for about twelve days. This is a normal situation, so there is no need to overworry. You can wait and see if there are any changes two weeks postpartum. For patients who have undergone a cesarean section, in addition to receiving proper medical treatment, dietary therapy can be used as supplementary treatment. In daily life, it is important to maintain a balanced diet and avoid foods.
