Is it normal for the lochia to decrease significantly on the 11th day after a normal delivery?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Is it normal for the lochia to decrease significantly after 11 days of a vaginal delivery?

Doctor's answer:

Individual differences exist. Generally, lochia is completely clean about 20 days after delivery. However, due to significant individual differences among each postpartum woman, the amount and duration of lochia vary. For many women, lochia may not be completely clean until about one month after delivery. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects the patient's body but can also lead to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and then receive symptomatic treatment. It is also important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
