These substances are also called secretions. It can often reflect a woman's current physical condition, especially her reproductive health. So, what to do about the fishy smell of lochia?

1. Most female friends will have white or yellow lochia about a week after delivery. At this time, the lochia only has a bloody smell, not a fishy smell. If you find that the lochia you discharge has a fishy smell, then you need to be alert to inflammation of the reproductive organs, or that there are substances such as fetal membranes left in the uterus. In either case, you need to seek medical attention immediately and take appropriate measures under the guidance of a doctor.
