100 days after delivery, lochia comes and goes

After a woman gives birth, lochia will be discharged from her vagina. Postpartum lochia needs to be kept for a while before it can be cleaned up. After the postpartum lochia is clear, the female body will slowly recover. However, for some women, postpartum lochia sometimes cannot be completely eliminated. So when you have postpartum lochia more than 100 days after giving birth, sometimes you don’t know what to do?

Lochia retention, in medicine, refers to the failure of lochia to clear 6 weeks after delivery or is accompanied by irregular uterine bleeding. In many cases, if lochia does not stop after childbirth, it is because the pregnant woman did not take good care of herself during the confinement period. What should I do if postpartum lochia does not stop? It is recommended that pregnant women take more rest during the confinement period, and remember the following:

1. Pregnant women should actively treat various pregnancy diseases before giving birth, such as pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome, anemia, vaginitis, etc.

2. For patients with placental abruption and elderly people during delivery, give antibiotics to prevent infection.

3. After giving birth, pregnant women should carefully check whether the embryo and fetal membrane are completely gone, and if there are any residues, they should be properly handled. Check the fetal membrane and flatten the embryo with the mother facing upwards. Note whether the leaves are aligned and whether there is any damage. Then the fetal membrane is lifted out to check whether it is intact. At the same time, pay attention to whether there are abnormal blood vessels passing through the fetal membrane. If there are broken blood vessels, it indicates that there may be "accessory embryos" remaining in the uterine cavity. If the embryo is not intact or most of the fetal membrane remains, it must be removed by hand or with instruments into the uterine cavity under strict disinfection to prevent postpartum hemorrhage or infection. If a small part of the fetal membrane remains, uterotonics can be used after delivery to promote its natural excretion.

4. Persistent breastfeeding is beneficial to uterine contraction and the discharge of postpartum lochia.

5. Observe the color, amount and smell of postpartum lochia every day after delivery. Normal postpartum lochia should have no peculiar smell but contain a fishy smell. If a peculiar smell is found, it may be that there are fetal remains in the uterus, which should be treated first.

6. Measure the degree of uterine contraction regularly and accurately. If you find that the contraction is poor, you should see a doctor and take new uterotonics.

7. Maintain vaginal cleanliness. Because of the postpartum lochia discharge, women must change sanitary napkins frequently to keep them fresh. It is best to temporarily refrain from having sex to prevent infection.

8. If a woman has persistent lochia and suspects that there is residual fetus, she should see a doctor immediately and receive treatment under the doctor's guidance.
