Lochia comes back again and again with blood

Every woman pays a lot to give birth to a new life. Not only does she have to endure the torture of ten months of pregnancy, but she also has to face various physical discomforts after delivery. This requires women to have strong psychological preparation. The most common thing after delivery is lochia. When postpartum care is not proper, lochia will recur and blood will appear, which makes women miserable. In fact, under normal circumstances, lochia will disappear in about one or two months. If it keeps recurring, you need to check with a gynecologist.

What is normal for lochia?

1. The colors of lochia are generally divided into three types: red, light red and white. Normal parturients have three different periods of lochia. We can judge whether there is any abnormality by observing the color of lochia in different periods.

2. Lochia is red at first, then turns to light red in about ten days, then turns to brown and yellow after two weeks, and becomes similar to white in about 4 to 6 weeks. These color changes of lochia are normal. If there is too much red lochia or white lochia and it lasts too long, or red lochia appears during the white lochia stage or the lochia has an odor, these are abnormal lochia phenomena.

What should I do if lochia comes back again and again with blood?

1. Go to the hospital for an ultrasound to find out the cause and receive symptomatic treatment.

2. Repeated bleeding may be due to poor uterine contraction. You can do an ultrasound examination. If the main manifestation is vaginal bleeding that is difficult to stop or intermittent bleeding, you can take some uterus-warming products that are beneficial to uterine recovery.

3. Avoid eating spicy or irritating food, and do not eat raw or cold food. Keep warm and avoid catching cold. Massaging the uterus more is beneficial to recovery.

What is lochia after induced abortion?

After an induced abortion, you may notice something unusual in your body. So what exactly are these abnormalities? Are they necessary or necessary? According to experts, after childbirth, as the uterine decidua, especially the decidua at the placental attachment, falls off, tissues containing blood, necrotic decidua, etc. are discharged through the vagina, which is called lochia. What is postpartum lochia? If the lochia is still bloody, large in amount, accompanied by a foul odor, and sometimes excreted with rotten meat-like substances or fetal membrane-like substances, and the uterus is poorly restored, then you should consider that there may be residual placenta or fetal membranes in the uterus, and heavy bleeding may occur at any time, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment immediately. When a puerperal infection occurs after childbirth, it can cause endometritis or myometritis. At this time, the mother has symptoms such as fever, lower abdominal pain, increased lochia and odor. The lochia at this time not only has a foul odor, but also the color is not normal bloody or serous, but a turbid, dirty earthy brown color.

How long does it take for lochia to clear up after induced abortion?

1. Bloody lochia: bright red in color, contains a lot of blood, large amount, and sometimes small blood clots. There is a small amount of fetal membrane and necrotic decidual tissue.

2. Light red in color and contains a lot of serous fluid. There is a small amount of blood, but there is a large amount of necrotic decidual tissue, cervical mucus, uterine exudate, and bacteria. Serous lochia lasts for about 10 days, the serous fluid gradually decreases, the white blood cells increase, and the lochia turns into white lochia.

3. White lochia: sticky and white in color. Contains a large number of white blood cells, necrotic tissue decidua, epidermal cells and bacteria. The white lochia lasted for 3 weeks. Normal lochia has a bloody smell but no odor, lasts for 4 to 6 weeks, and the total amount is about 250ml-500ml, with large individual differences.
