Explanation on how many days it takes for lochia after caesarean section to be clear

Now, since there are many unexpected situations during childbirth, we have many ways to deal with them. Some people will have miscarriage, and some will have cesarean section. Due to the different methods we use, the duration of lochia will also be correspondingly different. Today, I will mainly tell you how many days it will take for the lochia to end after cesarean section. Everyone please study it carefully, you will need it in the future.

Within one week after delivery, the lochia is abundant and bright red in color, which is bloody lochia; in the second week, the bleeding decreases and the color becomes light red, which is serous lochia; in the third week after delivery, the lochia becomes white and sticky, which is white lochia, and it lasts for about 2-3 weeks.

I went to the hospital for an ultrasound 42 days after delivery to understand the recovery of my uterus. If there are special circumstances, you should seek medical attention in time.

Postpartum lochia that does not stop or is not clean means that there is still vaginal bleeding more than 3 weeks after delivery. This is common in three situations:

It is the residual tissue, which may be due to the advanced pregnancy, uterine malformation, uterine fibroids, etc., or it may be due to the unskilled operation operator, resulting in incomplete removal of the pregnancy tissue, causing some tissue to remain in the uterine cavity. At this time, in addition to the unclean lochia, the amount of bleeding varies, with blood clots inside, and is accompanied by intermittent abdominal pain.

The duration of lochia is generally 42 days, about four weeks. During this period, the mother's body is very weak and sensitive. During childbirth, due to the pressure of the fetus on the perineum and the doctor's operations on the perineum during delivery, congestion and edema often occur in the perineum after delivery. In order to prevent lacerations in the birth canal during delivery, a small episiotomy is usually performed, which makes the wound more painful. If improper care is taken during this period and attention is not paid to cleanliness and hygiene, postpartum infection is very likely to occur, which will affect physical health and bring many troubles to future life. David maternity sanitary napkins are specially designed and developed for the special period after delivery. They can effectively prevent postpartum infection, relieve pain, and are safe and comfortable.

The duration of lochia discharge varies for each woman, but generally it takes about 4 weeks for the discharge to be clean. If the lochia is still leaking for more than 2 months after delivery, it is considered as unclean lochia. Common causes include uterine cavity infection, the presence of pregnancy products such as placenta, decidua and other tissues left in the uterine cavity, and incomplete uterine involution. If the lochia is not clear one month after delivery, and is accompanied by a foul or putrid smell, or is accompanied by abdominal pain and fever, it may be an infection of the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries; if the amount of lochia increases, the color turns red and darker day by day, or blood clots appear, or there is uterine bleeding, vaginal trauma, or infection, etc., so that the lochia continues to be clear, it should be taken seriously and go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to ensure the health of the mother after delivery. In addition, it is important that you pay attention to your hygiene.

The above is some basic information about lochia after cesarean section. Generally speaking, it is not a big deal if it lasts 3-5 days before or after, but if the lochia persists or recurs for more than a week, I suggest going to the hospital for examination. The pregnant mother's body may have been hurt inadvertently. Generally speaking, as long as you take good care of your body during the confinement period, there will not be many problems.
