How long does postpartum lochia last?

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 long does postpartum lochia usually last?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be postpartum lochia prolongation. Postpartum lochia prolongation is often caused by a naturally weak spleen qi, or spleen deficiency after pregnancy, which cannot control the pulse's blood; or postpartum uterine emptiness, where cold pathogens invade, leading to blood not returning to its proper path. You can use Shenghua Granules for treatment, which is quite effective. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit a hospital's gynecology department for a gynecological examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. You should also drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
