Patient's question:
How long does lochia last after a miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
After childbirth, for a certain period of time, there may still be bloody secretions flowing from the mother's vagina, which is what we call lochia. Lochia is a stage that postpartum women must go through. The condition of lochia is different after a vaginal birth and a cesarean section. For a vaginal birth, under normal circumstances, lochia is usually completely expelled within 4 to 6 weeks. According to your situation, the bloody lochia lasts for about 3 days, gradually turning into serous lochia, and then about 2 weeks later, it becomes white lochia, which lasts for 2 to 3 weeks before clearing up. If you have any discomfort, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for examination.
