Patient's question:
I have been recovering from a cesarean section for 43 days. The color of lochia is basically normal, but in the past ten days, it has been slightly bloody every few days. In the past two days, the blood has become darker and the amount has increased, but there are no other discomforts. What could be the reason, and how should I take care of myself?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you answer this. You don't need to worry too much. Postpartum lochia usually lasts for about 4 to 6 weeks, which is normal, and it will return to normal after some time.Advice: It is recommended that you pay attention to personal hygiene after childbirth, eat less spicy food, keep the external genitalia clean, and do a good job of nursing. Abdominal pain is normal because wound healing takes time.
