Patient's question:
The baby is already forty days old, but the lochia hasn't completely stopped yet. It sometimes leaks a little bit. How many days does it usually take for it to completely stop? Is there something wrong with this? Thank youDoctor's answer:
The vaginal discharge you described, apart from brown, usually requires a follow-up examination of the uterine appendages. Based on your description, postpartum lochia generally lasts for about ten days before it completely subsides. However, yours has not subsided yet, so it is recommended that you promptly visit a gynecological department in a regular hospital to consult a professional doctor for an examination. You should undergo an abdominal ultrasound and hormone excretion test, and then address the issue based on the results of the examination.
