Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How long does white lochia last?Doctor's answer:
Postpartum lochia is divided into three types: dark red bloody lochia lasting 3-4 days, not exceeding 1 week; pale red serous lochia lasting 7-10 days, not exceeding 2 weeks; and bloodless white lochia lasting 2-3 weeks, with the entire process not exceeding 6 weeks. If postpartum lochia is considered "poor uterine involution," based on color, pale red is indicative of qi deficiency syndrome. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's body but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a gynecological examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. It is also important to drink plenty of water and maintain good personal hygiene.
