We all want to give our mothers the best care to reduce their pain, but many mothers have symptoms of postpartum lochia and blood clots. So what is a good way to help our mothers solve this problem as quickly as possible? Let us now learn about the treatment of blood clots in the vagina after delivery.

Treatment:

1. Lochia is divided into bloody lochia, serous lochia and white lochia. Its duration and manifestations are as follows: bloody lochia flows out in the first 3 to 4 days after delivery, containing a large amount of blood, bright red in color, sometimes with small blood clots, a small amount of fetal membrane tissue and fragments; serous lochia is discharged 5 to 10 days after delivery, with less blood volume, light red or brown in color, light brown like serous, containing a small amount of blood, but more cervical mucus, vaginal discharge and bacteria; white lochia appears 10 days after delivery, with less bleeding, viscosity, white or yellow-white in color, containing more tissue fragments, epidermal cells, white blood cells and bacteria, etc.; lochia has a bloody smell when it is normal, but no odor, and returns to normal after 5 to 6 weeks.

2. Under normal circumstances, lochia will be completely discharged 4-6 weeks after delivery. In the first few days after delivery, the amount of lochia is relatively large and the color is bright red, so it is called red lochia, also known as bloody lochia, which generally lasts for 3-7 days. After 3-5 days, the amount of blood contained decreases and the lochia turns light red, called serous lochia. 10-14 days after delivery, the lochia is white or light yellow, called white lochia. Normal lochia has a bloody smell, but it is not foul. The lochia duration of women who have cesarean section is longer than that of women who have vaginal delivery. By observing the lochia, paying attention to changes in its quality and quantity, color and odor, as well as the state of uterine recovery, you can understand whether the uterine recovery is normal. If the uterus is not fully involuted and the bloody lochia lasts for a long time, you need to go to the hospital's gynecology department for symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Normal postpartum lochia lasts about 20 days. In your case, the increase in lochia may be caused by blood stasis. It is recommended to drink more water, keep warm, and keep the indoor air circulating so that the body's qi and blood can recover as soon as possible. You can get up early and move around, which will help the qi and blood flow and discharge the blood stasis in the uterus as soon as possible. If necessary, go to the hospital for a check-up to avoid affecting your health.
