The lochia has not cleared up after fifty days.

For normal mothers, lochia can be completely discharged and disappear in about 20 days after delivery. Lochia is an excess secretion in the body of a postpartum woman. If it is not discharged cleanly, it is very easy to cause certain damage to the uterus and ovaries of the postpartum woman, thus causing corresponding gynecological diseases. However, many women have persistent lochia. Is it normal if the lochia is not completely eliminated within 50 days after delivery?

It is abnormal if the lochia has not been discharged fifty days after delivery, because it does not take so long to discharge the lochia whether it is a natural birth or a caesarean section. If the patient gives birth naturally, it will take up to one month for the lochia to be discharged. If the patient gives birth by caesarean section, it will take 42 days, or about six weeks. If it has exceeded the expected number of days, you need to go to the hospital to check the reason why the lochia has not been completely discharged to prevent the development of the disease.

However, it is normal for some women to have lochia for 50 days after delivery. Why do I say this? There are two reasons. The first is that women have less activity after delivery, which will reduce the contraction of the uterus a lot and ultimately slow down the discharge of lochia. But this is always bad for health. It is recommended to take some drugs that can promote the discharge of lochia under the guidance of a professional doctor to help the body recover faster. Some mothers confuse lochia with menstruation because these are vaginal secretions and the women have the ability to resume menstruation fifty days after delivery. If the last few days of lochia happen to coincide with the leucorrhea period before menstruation, it will create the illusion that the lochia has not been completely eliminated after fifty days. Therefore, it is recommended that mothers go to the hospital to check their vaginal secretions to see what is causing the continued secretions.

The above is a brief introduction to what to do if lochia does not stop 50 days after delivery. I hope it can help mothers with related situations. Many women who have just given birth will look for some folk remedies when their lochia cannot be completely discharged, but we do not recommend doing so because we do not know whether these remedies have any scientific basis or whether they will cause side effects to the patients. When there are problems with your body, it is recommended to consult a doctor and take relevant medications under the doctor's guidance.
