How long does it take to be clean after cesarean section?

Women who have given birth know that after giving birth, there will be something discharged from the lower body like menstruation, which is commonly called postpartum lochia. Although the feeling is similar to menstruation, the duration is longer than a normal menstrual period and the amount is naturally larger. Therefore, this time must not be ignored. So, how long does it take for the body to be clean after a cesarean section? If postpartum lochia lasts for a long time, you need to go to the hospital. Don't just ignore it.

1. Under normal circumstances, postpartum lochia has a fishy smell, but it is not smelly, the amount does not exceed the menstrual volume, the color is transparent, shiny, not dark, and not turbid. After about ten to 20 days, it will be clean.

2. The duration of lochia discharge after giving birth is different for each woman according to individual differences. Under normal circumstances, the lochia will stop about 3 weeks after a woman gives birth.

3. If the lochia is still leaking more than 2 months after giving birth, it should be considered that it is impure lochia. Common causes of unclean lochia include some infections in the uterus, some remnants of pregnancy tissue such as embryos and decidua in the uterus, and incomplete uterine recovery.

4. If the lochia is still not clear one month after the cesarean section, and is accompanied by a foul or foul odor, or is accompanied by abdominal pain, fever and other symptoms, then the uterus, bilateral fallopian tubes, vagina, and uterus and ovaries may be infected; if the amount of lochia discharged actually increases day by day, the color becomes redder and darker day by day, or there are some bruises, or is accompanied by uterine bleeding, vaginal trauma, or infectious symptoms, etc., causing the lochia to continue to be unclean, everyone must pay enough attention and go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

The human body belongs to ourselves, so we must take good care of ourselves. Moreover, you must be a child with a baby now, so you should pay more attention to your body for the baby.
