Intermittent lochia after induced labor

Lochia is a kind of secretion that women will inevitably have after giving birth. It is mainly some waste left over from women's bodies after induced abortion or giving birth. Generally, it will be discharged within one month after giving birth. However, many people also experience intermittent lochia after delivery. If it is within a normal period of time, it is normal for lochia to appear intermittently. But if lochia lasts too long, it means that women have health problems.

Lochia continues after induced abortion, in simple terms, means that the abortion was not clean. Generally speaking, doctors recommend curettage after induced abortion. If curettage is not done, it may cause incomplete abortion and lead to continuous lochia after induced abortion. If lochia continues after induced abortion, it may be that the uterus is not repaired well. At this time, it is recommended to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to understand the pelvic condition.

By observing the nature, odor, amount and duration of lochia, one can understand the recovery of the uterus and whether there is any infection.

1. If bloody lochia lasts for more than 10 days and the amount is large, it often indicates that the endometrium at the placenta attachment site has not recovered well or there are residual placental membranes.

2. If the lochia lasts for a long time and is purulent, or has a foul odor, it indicates that there may be an intrauterine infection.

3. If there is heavy bleeding and the uterus is large and soft, it means that the uterus may not be repaired well.

Since the fetus develops in the female body for nearly ten months, a large amount of endometrium, mucus and bacteria are accumulated. Expelling these things from the body is beneficial to the recovery of the female body. The time it takes for lochia to be discharged varies from person to person. Some people will finish it during the confinement period, while others will take longer. How long does it usually take for the lochia to be discharged?

First of all, most women can expel lochia within about 6 weeks after delivery. The lochia starts out as bloody lochia, which usually lasts for 3 weeks, then turns into serous and gradually becomes white lochia, which is discharged in about 3 weeks. Normal lochia has a bloody smell and no foul odor. Such lochia only needs to be observed continuously.

Secondly, some women have completely discharged their lochia during the confinement period. If you are worried that the time is too short, you can drink some Shenghua Tang, which can help further discharge the lochia.

Finally, if the lochia has not cleared up after more than 6 weeks and has a foul odor, you need to go to a regular hospital for examination as soon as possible and take appropriate treatment measures to improve the situation.

First of all, the living environment of the parturient should be kept good and well-ventilated, which is beneficial to the health of the parturient and the baby. The mood of the parturient should be taken care of, so that the parturient can maintain an optimistic attitude and avoid postpartum depression, which is not conducive to the discharge of lochia.

Secondly, pay attention to a good diet structure. Do not eat raw or cold food. Eat foods that help discharge lochia. At the same time, pay attention to eating foods that replenish qi and nourish blood. This will help discharge lochia if the mother has a balanced diet.

Third, the mother should pay attention to maintaining good genital hygiene. She can wash her genitals with warm water every day to keep them clean and dry to prevent bacteria from breeding and causing gynecological inflammation.

Finally, you must follow the doctor's advice and strictly follow the doctor's instructions. Sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited during the confinement period. If there are any abnormal conditions, go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
