Patient's question:
I gave birth via C-section on October 15th. The lochia had stopped two days ago, but suddenly it returned tonight. What could be the reason for this? What should I do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
Patient: Female, 32 years old, post Cesarean section for 13 days with lochia.Hello, after a Cesarean section, the lochia is usually dark red for the first three days, and after seven days, it turns pink. The lochia can last for about 20 days in total. Pay attention to postpartum care, change underwear frequently, avoid cold exposure, and engage in adequate activity.
For the patient, if the condition after the Cesarean section is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be provided, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of the Cesarean section. Additionally, the patient needs to pay attention to their diet and psychological care.
