Do I need treatment if I have lochia for 50 days after childbirth?

Patient's question:

Postpartum at 50 days, lochia is not clean.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, 50 days postpartum, lochia has not yet completely stopped. There is a little bit every day, sometimes during the day, sometimes at night. This is not normal. For your condition, it is generally considered that it may be due to poor uterine involution or retained fetal membrane.
Medical Advice:
It is recommended that you go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. If uterine involution is poor, it is suggested that you receive intramuscular or intravenous oxytocin. Since the bleeding has not stopped for a long time, there may be an inflammatory infection, so it is recommended to add some anti-inflammatory medication. If there is retained fetal membrane, it is suggested that you undergo uterine evacuation. If the ultrasound results are normal, it may be due to taking blood-boosting or blood-vitalizing medication or food, which could cause irregular menstruation. In this case, it is recommended that you stop taking them and wait for a period of observation.
