1. Bright red postpartum lochia

In the first week after giving birth, the amount of lochia is relatively large, the color is bright red, and it contains a lot of blood, small blood clots and necrotic decidual tissue. It is called bright red lochia. Stubborn lochia lasts for three to four days, the amount of abnormal uterine bleeding gradually decreases, the serum increases, and it changes into serous lochia.

2. Lochia serous

After one week to within ten days, the amount of blood in the lochia is small, and the main components are necrotic decidua, cervical mucus, female secretions and bacteria, which cause the lochia to become a light red slurry. The lochia at this time is called serous lochia. Serous lochia lasts about ten days, the serum level gradually decreases, the white blood cells increase, and the lochia becomes white lochia.

3. White lochia

After a dozen days to three weeks, the lochia no longer contains blood, but contains a lot of white blood cells, atrophic decidua, epidermal cells and bacteria, making the lochia more viscous and white in color, so it is called white lochia. The white lochia lasted for three weeks without any bleeding.
