26 days after delivery, lochia turns into blood again

Pregnant women will have lochia right after giving birth. After the lochia is discharged, the pregnant woman's body is almost back to normal. Generally speaking, if the body is healthy, it will be clean in about ten days. Some pregnant women have weak bodies, and have not rested well. The lochia has not been cleaned up 26 days after giving birth. At this time, they may be a little anxious, worried that there is something wrong with their body. In fact, it is very normal to still have lochia bleeding 26 days after giving birth. Let’s follow the editor to find out the reasons why the vagina is not clean after giving birth.

If there is still lochia 26 days after giving birth, it may be that the pregnant woman's body is relatively weak and she is usually sick, or the delivery time is relatively long and a lot of blood is lost, resulting in the uterus not being able to repair well, so the lochia is not flowing cleanly. In addition, poor sleep after giving birth can also cause unclean lochia. It is recommended that pregnant women eat more fruits, vegetables and foods rich in protein, and then maintain a stable schedule, ensure adequate sleep, and maintain a happy mood.

If the pregnant woman has rested but the lochia is still not clear and has an odor, you can press the abdomen hard. If there is pain and fever, it may be due to taking a sitz bath after giving birth, improper use of sanitary napkins, or having sex before the baby is one month old. This may be an intrauterine infection and you need to see a doctor immediately.

During the confinement period, you can use diet therapy to expel postpartum lochia. You can eat millet, egg and brown sugar porridge. Take a few grams of millet, a few eggs, and an appropriate amount of brown sugar. After washing the millet, add appropriate amount of water to the pot. After boiling, change to low heat and cook for more than ten minutes. Then, crush the eggs, stir them and put them into the porridge. Add appropriate amount of brown sugar and you can eat it. The millet, brown sugar and eggs in this kind of porridge have the effects of strengthening the spleen and replenishing Qi, nourishing blood and Qi, calming the mind and tranquilizing the nerves.
