Patient's question:
I would like to ask, how long does lochia take to completely clear after a caesarean section? It has been 41 days now, and the discharge is still a bit pink. I don't know if it's normal.Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally, lochia turns white or light yellow after 2 to 4 weeks, forming white lochia, which has less volume and no more blood, usually lasting for about 3 weeks.At one month postpartum, it is necessary to have a follow-up check-up at the hospital to assess the recovery condition. Your current situation may be due to the uterus not recovering well, or it could also be caused by inflammation and infection. It is recommended that you have a check-up to determine the specific condition.
