Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How can I solve the problem of foul-smelling lochia alba?Doctor's answer:
Normal lochia has a bloody smell but is not foul. The duration of lochia in cesarean section patients is slightly longer than in vaginal delivery patients. By observing lochia, paying attention to changes in its consistency and amount, color, and odor, as well as the condition of uterine involution, one can determine whether the uterus is recovering normally. If uterine involution is incomplete, the duration of bloody lochia is prolonged, and it is necessary to go to the gynecology department of the hospital and receive symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
