Postpartum lochia only lasted one week, is that normal?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The lochia should be completely cleaned up within 20 days to be considered normal. If it doesn't clear up for an extended period, it indicates poor uterine recovery. If it hasn't cleared up by the deadline, it is recommended to visit a regular public hospital's gynecology department for examination and symptomatic treatment. Generally, traditional Chinese medicine treatment can effectively promote uterine recovery and overall body healing.
