How long does lochia take to clean up after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

How long does lochia take to clean up after a cesarean section? What kind of help do you want?:? There is still discharge 20 days after a cesarean section...

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to each person's physical condition, lochia may take 2-4 weeks to be completely expelled. If it hasn't been fully expelled in the past month, it may be due to poor uterine involution. In this case, you can take Guizhi Fuling capsules, which are used for incomplete lochia after childbirth. If there is still bleeding at 42 days, it is recommended to have a gynecological ultrasound examination to check the recovery of the uterus. After childbirth, pay attention to rest, avoid fatigue, and do not eat spicy, irritating, or cold foods.
