Patient's question:
After 4 days of crowd flow, the hospital examination said there was 165 intrauterine hematoma. Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is likely postpartum discharge (lochia) not being fully expelled. Lochia is the blood and fluid discharged after childbirth, typically clearing up within three weeks. However, some women may take up to six weeks due to weaker physical conditions. If the discharge continues for more than six weeks, it is referred to as incomplete lochia. Most cases are caused by cold stagnation and blood stasis. It is often accompanied by lower back pain, a heavy and cold sensation in the lower abdomen. Poor lochia discharge can affect uterine involution and even hinder overall recovery. It is important to actively seek medical examination for a definitive diagnosis.
