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 should I handle incomplete lochia?Doctor's answer:
Generally, lochia usually subsides around 4 weeks postpartum. If it persists for more than 42 days, it is generally caused by the following conditions: 1. Retention of placenta and fetal membranes 2. Poor uterine involution postpartum 3. Postpartum infection leading to endometritis. It is recommended that you seek medical attention promptly for examination and treatment. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to undergo routine examinations in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay close attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
