Why is there still lochia 45 days after delivery?

Why is there still lochia 45 days after delivery? I believe this problem has troubled many women at one time. Let us discuss this issue in depth. The human body is very complex, and a small change will have far-reaching effects. This issue also requires us to discuss and then verify the seriousness of the incident, whether it is closely related to us, and whether it is worthy of our in-depth study.

Generally, the lochia will be completely cleared after 20 days, but due to the large individual differences among women, the amount and duration of lochia after delivery are not the same. There are also many women whose lochia is delayed for about 1 month before it is cleared. If you have continuous lochia 45 days after delivery, it may be that the uterus is not contracting well enough, or there are placenta and fetal membranes in the uterine cavity, or there is bacterial infection in the uterus, which may increase the amount of lochia and have a bad smell; if you have a fever and lower abdominal pain, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination.

Postpartum care: You must rest at home after delivery, pay attention to sleep, and don't let yourself get tired again, but never lie in bed for a whole month. Generally, you can get out of bed 3 days after delivery and do some light activities. You should insist on proper physical exercise during the confinement period, and do some postpartum gymnastics or yoga, which can help you restore your body shape as soon as possible. Keep your hands and nipples clean and hygienic, especially pay attention to keeping the perineum clean. You can eat vegetables and fruits. If you are afraid of cold, eat less cold fruits such as watermelon and banana.

The above is a brief description of lochia 45 days after delivery. Let’s understand it from another side. This is a minor problem but it cannot be ignored. Timely discovery and timely treatment are good for yourself and your body. Otherwise, being sick all the time will cause unpredictable trauma to your body, making it impossible to live and rest normally. This is probably the most important thing about safety. Don’t let small mistakes lead to irreparable injuries.
