50 days after caesarean section, still have lochia

When a woman is pregnant, as the fetus continues to grow, the uterus will gradually expand. After giving birth, the mother's uterus will shrink back to its normal size. The recovery of the uterus after giving birth will cause uterine contraction, and there will be postpartum lochia discharge. Some mothers may feel uncomfortable when discharging lochia after giving birth, and some mothers may still have postpartum lochia 50 days after cesarean section. What is the reason?

Reasons for unclean lochia after childbirth:

1. Tissue residue: Tissue residue may cause the onset of symptoms to be prolonged, mixed with blood clots, and accompanied by intermittent abdominal pain. It may be due to uterine malformation, uterine fibroids and other reasons, or it may be due to the unskilled technical skills of the surgeon, resulting in the failure to completely eliminate the pregnancy tissue, causing some tissue to remain in the uterine cavity.

2. Weak uterine contractions. If increased bleeding occurs immediately after delivery, it may be due to poor uterine contractions, birth canal lacerations, retained placenta, and abnormal coagulation.

3. Intrauterine infection. Intrauterine infection may be caused by having sex immediately after giving birth, taking a sitz bath, or using unclean sanitary napkins. It may also be caused by the surgical operators' failure to strictly disinfect and sterilize. At this time, the lochia has an odor, the abdomen is tender and painful, and there is fever. A blood test shows an increase in the total white blood cell count.

Caesarean section to discharge lochia, it hurts so much:

1. There will be some pain when cesarean section is performed to expel lochia, which is caused by uterine contractions. Many pregnant women who have given birth, while enjoying being a mother, also encounter the trouble of having residual lochia after childbirth. Lochia after childbirth is one of the common symptoms for pregnant women after childbirth. Pregnant women need to be particularly careful if they encounter lochia after childbirth, because lochia after childbirth has a certain impact on the body of pregnant women, and severe cases may lead to hysterectomy.

2. It hurts when squeezing out the lochia after delivery. Many mothers who have returned home feel that it is most painful when the doctor squeezes out the lochia after delivery. Postpartum lochia is the residual dirt in the uterus after childbirth. Pregnant women who have a cesarean section should clean up the lochia in time, which is better for the repair of the wound. In order to clear the lochia after delivery, the doctor will press the mother's abdomen gently to squeeze out the lochia after delivery, and the mother will feel pain at this time.

3. Pregnant women can also help uterine contractions by paying attention to their diet. They can drink more brown sugar ginger water. Ginger slices can dispel cold, which can not only help pregnant women get rid of the cold in the body, but also promote blood circulation in the abdomen, thereby helping postpartum lochia to be discharged as soon as possible.
