Patient's question:
Sure, I can help with that. However, you haven't provided any content to translate. Please provide the text you want to be translated into English.Doctor's answer:
The main action of uterine recovery is continuous contraction. From the constant contractions during childbirth that push the fetus out, to the subsequent expulsion of the placenta. Blood continuously flows out of the uterus, known as lochia. Through constant and powerful contractions, the uterus compresses the openings of blood vessels, forming blood clots and stopping bleeding. The uterus further squeezes to continuously expel blood clots, gradually reducing its volume. The uterus typically returns to its original size about 4–6 weeks postpartum. The quality of uterine contraction recovery can be judged by two external indicators:(1) If the uterus recovers well, the fundus of the uterus, which can be felt just after birth at the level of the navel, will no longer be palpable after about two weeks, unless there is an uterine fibroid.
(2) The color of lochia changes from bright red to dark red, deep black, pale red, and finally colorless.
