What's the matter with the lochia coming back after the cesarean section is over?

After giving birth, women will have lochia discharge, which is the residual material in the uterus. Generally, the lochia can be discharged about 20 days after delivery. However, some women have lochia for a shorter time, some women have lochia for a longer time, and some women have lochia again after it is clear. What is going on?

What happens if the lochia comes back again after the cesarean section is clean?

The lochia after caesarean section has been cleared and appears again. In this case, the first thing to consider is whether the menstruation has come, and the second is the possibility of intrauterine lochia. You should go to the hospital for a gynecological color ultrasound to see if there is any intrauterine lochia. If the color ultrasound shows that there are flake-like slightly high echoes in the uterine cavity, it is more likely that there are residual blood in the uterus. If the residual amount is very large, curettage should be performed; if the residual amount is very small, you can take motherwort granules orally and inject oxytocin injection intramuscularly for treatment, and then recheck the color ultrasound after delivery. If it is menstruation, the amount of vaginal bleeding will generally be heavier and the duration will be longer. If it is intrauterine residue, be sure to pay attention to timely follow-up examination. If heavy vaginal bleeding occurs, go to the hospital immediately.

How should pregnant women discharge lochia?

The discharge of postpartum lochia requires strengthening of uterine contraction. Under normal circumstances, after delivery, the doctor will prescribe some drugs to promote uterine contraction, such as Wujia Biochemical Capsules, or Motherwort. After taking them, the uterus will contract, and the lochia remaining in the uterine cavity will be discharged.

In addition, women must be careful not to always sleep in bed during this period. If conditions permit, they can get out of bed and walk more, which can also help the discharge of lochia.

In addition, you must pay attention to the hygiene of the vulva at this time, because lochia can easily lead to infection, so you must wash the vulva frequently and change shorts every day.
