How long does lochia take to clean up after a cesarean section?

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 long does lochia last after a cesarean section?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: After a cesarean section, lochia usually stops within three weeks. Your condition is likely due to uterine atony or retained placenta. An ultrasound examination can help determine the cause. If it is the former, taking motherwort or receiving oxytocin injections can resolve the issue. If the latter is the case and the placenta is large, a D&C procedure may be necessary.
Hello, based on your description, this is primarily considered a possible infection. It is recommended that you visit a hospital, undergo a blood test, and receive antibiotic treatment.
