30 days after delivery, the lochia is almost gone and there is blood again

It takes some time for a woman's uterus to recover after giving birth. During this period, the uterus will gradually discharge some lochia, expel all the waste in the uterus and maintain the health of the uterus. Generally, the lochia will be basically clear 30 days after delivery, but some women will still have bleeding after 30 days. At this time, mothers should not worry, as this is related to their own physical condition. Those with weaker physical conditions may have a longer period of time. They should also go to the hospital for regular check-ups after delivery so that they can know the recovery of the uterus in time.

30 days after delivery, the lochia is almost gone and there is blood again. What's going on?

Lochia is the bloody fluid discharged after childbirth, which usually clears up within three weeks. However, some women may take up to six weeks to clear up due to their weak bodies. If the bleeding continues for more than six weeks, it is called retained lochia, which is mostly caused by stagnation of cold air and blood stasis. It is often accompanied by low back pain, distension and cold pain in the lower abdomen. Poor lochia discharge will affect the recovery of the uterus and even the recovery of the whole body.

Some precautions after childbirth:

1. As long as you blow dry your hair immediately after washing or taking a bath or keep warm, moderate cleaning is beneficial to both parents and children.

2. It is recommended that mothers do not go out in bad weather conditions, especially in winter. If it is summer and you want to use air conditioning or electric fans, please keep the indoor temperature between 26 and 28 degrees, and the air outlet should not be facing the mother.

3. The mother's hormone levels drop sharply after delivery, her wounds have not yet healed, and she may encounter setbacks in breastfeeding and not know how to take care of the newborn, which makes her prone to depression.

4. It is okay to consume a moderate amount of salt, and it can also increase the mother's appetite, but if it is consumed in excess, it can easily cause a burden on the kidneys and electrolyte imbalance in the body.

5. After giving birth, women's bodies are in the weakest state and need to fully recover. At the same time, they have to breastfeed frequently and raise children during the confinement period, which requires a lot of energy. Therefore, no matter what, do not try to lose weight and restore your body in any way during the confinement period, as doing so will seriously harm your body. However, it should be noted that you should not consume too many high-fat, high-sugar, and high-calorie supplements during the confinement period, as this will increase the burden of weight loss in the future.

What should I do if my uterus does not recover well after childbirth?

First, you must insist on breastfeeding after delivery. Breastfeeding is very beneficial to the recovery of the uterus. There are abundant sensory nerve endings on the nipples and areolas. The baby's sucking stimulation can be transmitted to the posterior pituitary gland in the brain through these sensory nerve endings, increasing the synthesis of oxytocin, and after being released into the blood circulation, it promotes the contraction of uterine muscles, thereby accelerating the recovery of the uterus.

Second, postpartum massage. After giving birth, new mothers can often gently massage their lower abdomen in a clockwise direction. By stimulating the acupoints during the massage, the excitability of the uterine muscles can be indirectly enhanced, promoting uterine contractions. In addition, massaging the sacrum and coccyx after delivery can also promote the contraction of the pelvic muscles, enhance fascia tension, and help the uterus recover.

Third, postpartum exercise. Postpartum exercise can help the recovery of the uterus and pelvis. You can do some simple exercises such as leg lifting, deep breathing, and hip lifting about seven days after giving birth.

Fourth, drink Shenghua Tang. The main effect of Shenghua Tang is to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, replenish blood and replenish qi. It is very suitable for drinking during the confinement period.

How long does it take for the uterus to recover after childbirth?

Generally speaking, after the baby is born, the uterus of most mothers needs 4-6 weeks to gradually recover. The uterus will gradually recover, and it will take 6-8 weeks after delivery to fully heal. However, if the mother wants to recover quickly and well, there is a lot of knowledge involved, and she needs to take good care of herself and pay more attention.

After the baby is born, the mother must urinate in time and must not hold urine, so as to avoid the bladder being enlarged, affecting the normal contraction of the uterus, causing cystitis, and thus triggering the normal recovery of the uterus. The mother should also try to get out of bed and move around, and not stay in bed. Getting out of bed and moving early can help the contraction of the uterus and facilitate the discharge of lochia, which is conducive to better and faster recovery of the uterus after delivery.
