How to determine if postpartum lochia has been completely expelled

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally the postpartum bleeding lasts for about 6 weeks. However, if it continues beyond this period, it is considered lochia. If there is nothing coming out, it means it's clean. After it's clean, you can also go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to check the recovery of the uterus and see if the lochia has been completely expelled.
