I've been 37 days post-caesarean section, but my lochia hasn't stopped yet.

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The lochia usually lasts for 4-6 weeks. Postpartum bloody lochia generally lasts for 3-7 days, then transitions to serous lochia and white lochia, and usually clears up around 3 weeks. You can visit the gynecology department of the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound 6-8 weeks postpartum to observe the recovery of the uterus. If there is an infection or retained tissue, timely treatment is required.
