What should I do if there is lochia after cesarean section?

As we all know, some people are afraid of the pain of giving birth, so they choose a caesarean section. However, a caesarean section will leave a scar on the abdomen, which will greatly affect your desire for beauty. Some husbands also don’t like this. So, how to deal with this problem? In this situation, how can we make up for the unsightly appearance caused by lochia? Let me introduce it to you.

The discharge from the vagina after childbirth is called lochia. Under normal circumstances, it will be completely discharged 4-6 weeks after childbirth. 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. After 3-5 days, the amount of blood contained in the lochia decreases and it becomes light red, which is called lochia serosa. 10-14 days after delivery, the lochia becomes white or light yellow and is called lochia alba. 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.

Generally, it takes at least two years after a caesarean section before considering another pregnancy. Your wound has been there for more than a year and has healed, but no matter how you treat it, the wound will always be a wound. It is formed by tissue scars. You have a scarred uterus, so you must be careful during pregnancy. In the late stage of pregnancy, you will need another caesarean section before the due date. If you want to be in good physical condition to prepare for pregnancy, you should pay more attention to the scientific supply of nutrition, exercise moderately every day, be in a good mood and happy, get more rest and adjust your lifestyle. Well, after the brief introduction above, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the phenomenon of lochia after cesarean section and how to improve this phenomenon. So I hope everyone will pay attention to adjustment after cesarean section and strengthen physical exercise, so that they can recover faster. I wish you all good health.
