Patient's question:
Dear expert, I gave birth to my daughter on November 5th. It was a full-term normal delivery. Due to premature rupture of membranes, the doctor told me after the birth that there was a small amount of fetal membrane residue, saying it would naturally come out with lochia. Throughout the postpartum month, I kept having intermittent periods of cleanliness, so I was always worried about having a D&C procedure. For 30 days, there were 2 days of cleanliness, then bright red bleeding for 3 days followed by light red bleeding for about 5 days. At 42 days, I had an ultrasound, which showed that the fetal membranes had already come out, but the uterus was still slightly enlarged with noticeable echoes. The doctor prescribed anti-inflammatory medication and Postpartum Health Capsules. After taking them, my period was clean for 4 days, but then it returned at 46 days with a small amount of bleeding.Doctor's answer:
Postpartum lochia with blood, considering your condition, there may be gynecological inflammation. It is recommended to take metronidazole tablets orally, combined with metronidazole effervescent tablets, and persist in continuous treatment for a period of time! Generally, doctors will advise women with postpartum consultation of dangerous signs to maintain personal hygiene and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
