Patient's question:
Postpartum at 30 days, lochia has stopped, but at 35 days, fresh blood started to flow again.Doctor's answer:
Hello: The secretions discharged from the vagina after childbirth are called lochia. Under normal circumstances, they are completely expelled within 4 to 6 weeks postpartum. If the uterus does not recover properly or there is an intrauterine infection, it can lead to excessive lochia and prolonged duration. If there is an intrauterine infection, it can also cause abdominal pain and a foul odor in the lochia.
