What is the reason for lochia lasting for more than 10 days?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: 32 days postpartum, experiencing light pink lochia for over 10 days, what could be the reason? No fever or other abnormalities.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Generally, there is usually a secretion period of about two weeks, so there is no need to worry. The best time for an induced abortion is around three months. Induced abortion can cause significant harm to the body, potentially leading to symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, irregular menstruation, prolonged periods, abnormal vaginal discharge, increased leukorrhea, or slight vaginal bleeding. If, after an induced abortion, an ultrasound shows that there are still foreign bodies in the uterus that have not been cleared, a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure may be necessary to remove the foreign bodies.
