33 days postpartum, with little lochia, what should I do?

Patient's question:

Natural birth, 33 days have passed since giving birth, lochia hasn't cleared up yet. It was already brown 3 days after birth, and after 28 days, it's sometimes brown and occasionally red, with very little amount. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, it is advisable to check an ultrasound to rule out the possibility of residual tissue in the uterine cavity. Oxytocin can be used to promote uterine contractions, and then closely monitor vaginal bleeding. Additionally, since the duration of vaginal bleeding is prolonged, it is recommended to use anti-inflammatory medication for treatment.
