Is it necessary to have a uterine curettage if lochia is not completely gone?

Although today's medical science is very advanced, it is rare for women to experience lochia after giving birth, but there are still some women who experience lochia. There are many reasons for postpartum lochia, so the solutions are also different. Therefore, curettage is only necessary when there are placental remnants in the uterus.

1. Is it necessary to have a uterine curettage if lochia is not clean?

1. First of all, whether or not a curettage is needed for lochia retention depends on the actual symptoms of the lochia retention and the severity of the cause. Female friends can first go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to see if there is any tissue residue in the uterine cavity. If the symptoms are relatively mild, you can consult a doctor to use some medicine to help expel the residue. However, if the residue is not completely expelled and continues to increase for a long time, then a curettage operation is required.

2. In addition, lochia can also be treated through some traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods. We all know that the most important function of Chinese herbal medicine is to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, regulate menstruation and promote blood circulation. Many female friends suffer from lochia due to abnormal uterine contractions. Chinese medicine can help the uterus restore power and solve the abdominal pain and blood clots that women experience.

2. Causes of persistent lochia in parturients

1. Continuous leakage occurs when Qi and blood are deficient and spleen is weak. The blood strips are small but continuous. And if the lochia of the parturient with embryonic remnants in the uterus continues, the lochia after delivery will contain more blood clots. The lochia caused by infection after childbirth is unclean, has a pungent smell, and the body may have a fever or infection symptoms.

2. The lochia caused by deficiency of Qi and blood and spleen deficiency will certainly improve if the mother takes good care of herself and the body recovers to a certain level. The lochia caused by infection after childbirth can also improve on its own after the inflammation and infection are controlled. In these cases, drugs can be used to promote recovery, and there is no need for curettage.

3. If the mother's lochia continues and is mixed with a lot of blood clots, and if there are placenta residues in the uterus during B-ultrasound examination, a curettage must be performed. If the remaining embryo is not removed, bleeding will continue and it will not be able to recover to normal.
