Patient's question:
I have undergone a cesarean section surgery for 43 days now. The lochia color is basically normal, but in the past ten days, it has been slightly bloody every few days. In the past two days, the blood has become darker and the amount has increased, with no other discomfort. What could be the reason, and how should I take care of myself?Doctor's answer:
I'm happy to help you answer this. You don't need to worry too much. Postpartum lochia usually lasts for about 4 to 6 weeks, which is normal, and it will return to normal after some time.Medical advice: It is recommended that you pay attention to personal hygiene after childbirth, eat less spicy food, keep the external genitalia clean, and take good care. Abdominal pain is normal because wound healing takes time. Generally, doctors will advise patients with postpartum consultation risks to maintain personal hygiene and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should create an environment that is conducive to emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing you a healthy delivery.
