Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What are the symptoms of uterine prolapse?Doctor's answer:
Uterine prolapse should not cause any discomfort, and it needs to be checked at the hospital with an ultrasound to determine the position of the uterus. If the lochia is clean after 42 days postpartum, it is generally recommended to have a follow-up check-up at the hospital. The mom can then examine the recovery of the uterus and endometrium at that time. During the postpartum period, when resting while lying down, avoid always lying flat and instead alternate between lying on your left and right sides, which helps in the recovery of the uterus.
