How long does it take for lochia to discharge after a normal delivery?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How long does postpartum lochia last?

Doctor's answer:

Everyone is different. From 15 to 25 days is normal as long as there is no unpleasant odor. You can get out of bed for a few minutes during the day to help speed up the discharge of lochia. It's also important to do Kegel exercises more often to prevent vaginal relaxation and incontinence.
1. Based on your description, it's usually not noticeable. You need to treat it correctly, increase nutrition, supplement vitamins and trace elements, maintain a regular lifestyle, and have a consistent sleep schedule. Avoid harmful stimuli.
