Ten days after giving birth, I suddenly started bleeding a lot.

After giving birth, women will have a process of expelling lochia. Many people jokingly say that this is your "menstrual period" that has not come for ten months. This process will basically be over in about twenty days, and it may take more than a month to complete. The amount of blood is relatively large in the first few days after delivery, and then it will gradually become less and less. Why is there sudden heavy bleeding ten days after giving birth?

The lochia lasts for 4-6 weeks. If the lochia continues to drip after this period, it is called "impure lochia" and needs to be treated immediately to prevent the lochia from affecting the physical and mental health of the pregnant woman and causing other diseases. It is particularly noteworthy that the duration of lochia may vary depending on the physical fitness of the pregnant woman. Some pregnant women have better physical fitness and can feel the lochia after 3 weeks. Some pregnant women have weak physical fitness, and postpartum lochia continues until 6 weeks after giving birth. This is related to the mother's diet, rest conditions, etc.

If lochia continues to be discharged more than one month or 42 days after giving birth, and the amount has not decreased, it means that the lochia is not clean. The key reason for residual lochia is the weak constitution of pregnant women, which is called qi stagnation and blood stasis or blood heat in traditional Chinese medicine. Pregnant women with qi deficiency have insufficient blood and qi before delivery, and they lose too much blood during delivery. They do not take good care of themselves after giving birth, which leads to damage to the spleen and qi due to overwork, blood stasis and continuous lochia after delivery. At this time, you should see a doctor in time and take effective dietary supplements under the guidance of a doctor.

Many pregnant women will have various problems during the confinement period. If the amount of lochia increases for several consecutive days, you should go to the hospital for examination immediately. After giving birth, be careful not to catch a cold, get plenty of rest, and don't overwork. Pay attention to nutrition and diet, study food supplements scientifically, and take good care of yourself during the confinement period to avoid problems.
