What is the reason for lochia turning yellow during a normal delivery?

Patient's question:

I am very scared when this happens. I often experience lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. Could you please tell me what's wrong with the yellow lochia after a normal delivery?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be postpartum lochia profuse, which is often caused by a naturally weak spleen qi or spleen deficiency after pregnancy, unable to govern the Chong pulse's blood; or postpartum uterine emptiness with invasion of cold pathogens, leading to blood not returning to its proper channels. You can use Shenghua Granules for treatment, which is quite effective. During the postpartum period, if you haven't passed gas, you shouldn't eat sweet foods. Once you've passed gas, you can eat some in moderation. It's recommended to consume more crucian carp soup and lean meat, while avoiding sour, spicy, and greasy foods.
