How long after childbirth does bleeding stop

Patient's question:

I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. How long after giving birth does the bleeding stop?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, the duration of postpartum lochia is 42 days, with the first 10 days being blood-tinged lochia and the following period being serous lochia. It is recommended to check with a hospital. If there is still bleeding at 50 days, it may be due to intrauterine infection or poor uterine contraction.
Hello, according to your description, it is generally advised to keep your hair away from your baby and wait a few weeks before breastfeeding. First, give your child formula milk to prevent any contamination of the milk from hair dye or perm solutions.
