How to deal with stomach bloating during postpartum?

Patient's question:

Postpartum day 28, the lochia has not stopped. I would like to ask if it's normal? Because of eating ribs once, which caused stomach acid and bloating. Personally, I think it's because of poor sleep and eating in bed at night. Is it okay?

Doctor's answer:

Under normal circumstances, lochia is usually completely expelled within 20 days after childbirth. However, if it hasn't cleared up within this period, it is recommended to visit a hospital for a check-up. It is still advisable to have a detailed examination at the hospital, as common causes of incomplete lochia include infections in the uterine cavity, the presence of early pregnancy remnants such as the placenta or decidua in the uterine cavity, or incomplete uterine recovery.
Indigestion is a condition that is difficult to relieve. Friends suffering from this should always maintain a positive attitude and face it with optimism, as only this can boost their confidence in combating indigestion.
