15 days after cesarean section, lochia suddenly increased

Whether women give birth naturally or by cesarean section, they generally need to discharge lochia after giving birth. Some women experience a sudden increase in lochia 15 days after cesarean section. If the amount of bleeding is greater than menstruation, you must go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time to avoid heavy bleeding. This situation may also be caused by uterine remnants or poor wound healing. It is best to see a doctor as soon as possible.

What to do if there is too much lochia after cesarean section

Small folk remedy for expelling lochia:

1. Prepare 30 grams of herb, 10 eggs, and 30 grams of brown sugar. Then boil the water of the herb, remove the residue, and then use the filtrate, brown sugar and eggs to cook until the eggs are cooked. Eat 2-3 eggs a day, and you can prepare more after you finish eating. This product is suitable for postpartum lochia caused by qi deficiency.

2. Prepare 10 grams of ginseng, 1 black-bone chicken, and a little salt. Soak the ginseng until soft, slice it, stuff it into the chicken's belly, put it into a casserole, add salt, and stew it until the chicken is cooked through. Eat the meat and drink the soup, 2-3 times a day.

3. Boil hawthorn and brown sugar in water and drink it. Hawthorn can not only help postpartum women increase appetite and promote digestion, but also disperse blood stasis. In addition, brown sugar has the effect of nourishing blood, which can help postpartum women with persistent lochia to dissolve blood stasis and expel lochia as soon as possible.

If lochia recurs for a long time, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up, find out the cause, and then take medication for treatment. Compared with Western medicine, Chinese medicine is more inclined to Western medicine. Western medicine generally relieves symptoms, but Chinese medicine treats the root of the human body, which can not only treat diseases but also regulate the body.
