1. Bloody lochia. This is the secretion discharged within the 1st to 4th day after delivery. It is large in amount, bright red in color, and contains blood, decidual tissue and mucus. It is similar to menstruation, or slightly more than menstruation, and sometimes contains blood clots.

2. Serous lochia. This is discharged 4 to 6 days after delivery. It is light red in color and contains a small amount of blood, mucus, and more vaginal secretions, as well as bacteria.

3. White lochia. This is the white or yellowish lochia discharged one week after delivery. It contains a large number of white blood cells, decidual cells and bacteria. It looks like leucorrhea, but there is more of it than usual.

What should I do if there is still bleeding one month after giving birth?

The duration of lochia discharge varies from woman to woman. Lochia is the bloody fluid discharged after childbirth, which is usually discharged within three weeks. However, some women may take up to six weeks to discharge due to their weak bodies. If the discharge continues for more than six weeks, it is called retained lochia, which is mostly caused by stagnation of cold air and blood stasis. It is often accompanied by low back pain, distension and cold pain in the lower abdomen. Poor lochia discharge will affect the recovery of the uterus and even the recovery of the whole body. You should actively go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis so that you can get symptomatic treatment advice.

What should I pay attention to one month after giving birth?

1. Pay attention to the problem of infection. The skin is the first line of defense for the body, so the redness, swelling, heat and pain of the wound should never be underestimated. If a new mother finds that the wound is painful, has purulent secretions or heavy bleeding, she should seek medical attention as soon as possible. To promote wound healing, new mothers should pay attention to keeping the wound clean and dry, clean the wound with warm water every day and wipe it dry with a sterilized cotton ball; they can take a warm water sitz bath to relieve wound pain.

2. Pay attention to nutritional intake. You can eat more foods rich in collagen, which is very beneficial for fading scars and promoting wound recovery. You should pay attention to your recuperation. You can get out of bed and move around after delivery, but don't overwork yourself and don't lift heavy objects. Sexual intercourse is prohibited this month to avoid hindering your body's recovery.
