Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How can I ensure that lochia is completely expelled during postpartum recovery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the discharge of lochia after childbirth generally lasts for about 42 days, with the color changing from red to yellow to white, and the amount gradually decreasing. A gynecological examination can be conducted around 42 days postpartum. You can drink a cup of warm milk before bed to promote sleep, relax your mind, and have regular postpartum check-ups. Sexual activity is not allowed, nor should you overexert yourself. After waking up in the morning, you can drink a cup of light honey water to promote bowel movement.
