What should I do if the lochia comes again after the baby is clean?

Whether it is a natural birth or a caesarean section, a recovery process is required. Many mothers will find that after giving birth, the lochia comes again after it is clean. It always comes back again and again, making them feel very uncomfortable. They also feel that the lower body feels sticky and very inconvenient. So what should we do!

??First, let’s take a look at how the uterus recovers! This thing gets stretched out when you're pregnant, so it keeps shrinking during the recovery period. During the process of giving birth, it "vomits" the baby and the placenta one by one through contraction. Next, it vomits out the blood accumulated in the uterus, which is "lochia". In the continuous contraction, the blood gradually coagulates into blood clots, and the body no longer bleeds. Finally, the uterus will "vomit" out these blood clots together and return to its original size in about 20 days.

Next, let's take a look at how to help the uterus recover. There are mainly the following methods:

1. Massage + astringent

??As mentioned above, the uterus recovers through continuous contractions, and we can also help it recover through massage and taking contraction drugs. You can learn from your doctor how to massage the fundus of the uterus to stimulate the uterine muscles, help the body expel lochia, and empty the uterus. If you find that there is too much bleeding in your lower body, you can use a contraction agent, which can quickly help the mother adjust her body and return to normal as soon as possible.

2. Shenghua Tang

??Speaking of Shenghua Tang, you must be familiar with it. After giving birth, the elderly in the family will give the mother a bowl of it, and the purpose is also to help the uterus recover. In fact, compared with contraction agents, the main effect of this soup is to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, replenish blood and qi, and it is very suitable for drinking during the confinement period. The contraction agent is used to prevent excessive bleeding after giving birth. Therefore, drinking Shenghua Tang is very helpful about 40 days after delivery.

3. Postpartum exercise

??In addition to the recovery of the uterus, the pelvis also needs to be recovered. If the pelvis does not recover well, it will bring multiple troubles to your future self, such as back pain, lower abdominal distension, urinary incontinence, etc. In terms of pelvic recovery, you must pay attention to avoiding high-intensity labor as much as possible, such as moving rubbish, squatting, etc. These actions should not be performed within 6 months after giving birth.

From the article, we learned that lochia comes again after it is clean. In fact, this phenomenon is very common. Usually, we just need to pay attention to a good diet and get more rest, and let our bodies recover as soon as possible, so that we can better deal with these phenomena.
