How long does lochia last after a caesarean section?

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, it's always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. How long does lochia last after a cesarean section?

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 control the Chong pulse's blood; or postpartum uterine emptiness, with cold pathogens invading, leading to blood not returning to its proper channels. You can use Shenghua Granules for treatment, which is quite effective. You can go out one month after delivery. Generally, you can wear thicker clothes when going out after the full moon. If you didn't wear a hat during the postpartum period and go out, you don't need to wear a hat.
