Does using a binder after a cesarean section prolong lochia?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be postpartum lochia profuse, which is often caused by a naturally weak spleen qi or spleen deficiency after pregnancy, unable to govern the (Chong Mai) blood; or postpartum emptiness of the uterine vessels, with cold pathogens invading, leading to blood not returning to its proper channels. It can be treated with Shenghua Granules, which is quite effective.
