What does uterine shedding look like during the postpartum period?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me what the shedding of the uterus looks like during the postpartum period?

Doctor's answer:

The main symptoms of uterine prolapse include:
1. A sensation of heaviness and lower back pain, particularly in the deep lumbosacral region, although there is no point of tenderness in this area. This is caused by the prolapsed uterus pulling on its surrounding supportive tissues, as well as secondary pelvic congestion. At the same time, a sense of fullness and heaviness may appear in the lower abdomen, vagina, and external genitalia. Symptoms worsen with prolonged standing, walking, or physical labor, but they can be relieved or even disappear when lying flat.
