Patient's question:
25 days postpartum, I have a slight discomfort in my lower abdomen, and it also feels uncomfortable when breastfeeding. This morning, all the pads were filled with lochia, which was red. Is it possible that my uterus hasn't fully recovered?Doctor's answer:
20 days after delivery, red lochia appeared. This should be checked at the hospital, such as through an ultrasound examination. If remnants are found or if uterine recovery is poor, treatment is necessary. If there is significant residual lochia, a second uterine evacuation may be required. If the uterus does not contract well on its own, medication to enhance uterine contraction and promote complete recovery, such as Yimucao Granules or Xinchuangneng Granules, may be needed. Proper walking is beneficial for the residual lochia to be expelled.
