However, since each mother's physical constitution is different, the duration of lochia is also different.

How many days does it take for lochia from caesarean section to be clear?

Generally speaking, every mother who has a caesarean section will have lochia, but due to different personal physical conditions, the duration of lochia is also different. Some mothers with good physical conditions can generally get rid of lochia in a week because they have been well conditioned, but some mothers with weak physical conditions may take five to six weeks to get rid of lochia.

What is the reason for bright red lochia one month after delivery?

Lochia is the substance secreted from the vagina after a woman gives birth. Generally, it will completely disappear 4 to 6 weeks after giving birth. However, if the uterus has not fully recovered after giving birth, or if the uterus is infected, the duration of lochia will be prolonged. If the uterine cavity is infected, abdominal pain and foul-smelling lochia will occur. At this time, you should pay attention to keeping warm, and pay attention to your own cleanliness and hygiene. But I still recommend you go to the hospital for a gynecological examination to find out the cause and receive early treatment.

The cause of lochia twenty days after delivery

Resting and maintaining your body after childbirth is a particularly important period of time, so for women after childbirth, they must protect their bodies well to avoid the occurrence of lochia. So for some women who have lochia 20 days after delivery, in order to avoid further damage to their bodies, they want to know what the causes are. The answers are given below and you can take a look at the causes.

Causes

The main pathogenesis of this disease is Chong and Ren meridian disease, resulting in abnormal circulation of Qi and blood. Because lochia is transformed from blood, and blood originates from the internal organs and flows into the Chong and Ren meridians, if the internal organs are diseased and the Chong and Ren meridians are also diseased, it can lead to continuous lochia. Common pathogenesis includes qi deficiency, blood stasis and blood heat.

Pathogenesis

1. Qi deficiency

The body is weak in Qi and the vital energy is insufficient. The blood loss during childbirth consumes Qi, or the patient works too hard after childbirth, which damages the spleen, causing Qi deficiency and sinking, and the Chong and Ren meridians are not solid, which makes it impossible to retain blood and causes continuous lochia.

2. Blood stasis

Postpartum uterine vessels are empty,

Evil cold takes advantage of the weakness to enter the placenta, causing the blood to become cold and coagulate; or due to emotional injury, the blood becomes stagnant due to qi stagnation; or due to blood stasis after childbirth, the remaining placenta and fetal membranes become blood stasis, which blocks the Chong and Ren meridians, making it difficult for new blood to settle and return to the meridians, resulting in unclean lochia.

3. Blood heat

The patient is born with Yin deficiency and due to blood loss during delivery, the Yin fluid is further depleted, resulting in internal heat due to Yin deficiency, or excessive consumption of spicy, warm and dry foods after delivery, or being affected by heat evil, or liver depression turning into heat, the heat still in the Chong and Ren meridians, forcing the blood to descend, resulting in unclean lochia.

The occurrence of lochia 20 days after delivery is quite harmful to the body, so if you have lochia 20 days after delivery, you must pay attention to it. After finding out the cause, you must improve it through treatment as soon as possible. Because only as soon as possible treatment can avoid further serious damage to the body and avoid future sequelae.
