The lochia disappeared and suddenly came back

The physiological phenomenon of lochia will also show great individual differences depending on the physical condition of the mother. Since each mother's body recovery state after giving birth is different, the duration of lochia can also be long or short. Lochia contains placental decidua, uterine mucus, etc., so the form of lochia is somewhat similar to female menstruation. But why do some women find that lochia has obviously stopped but appears again after a period of time?

Is it normal for lochia to come back two days after it was clean?

It is actually normal for lochia to come again after it has cleared up after childbirth. In many cases, the fluid discharged from a woman's lower body is no longer lochia, but women think it is lochia. For many women, this may be the first menstruation after childbirth. Indeed, some women have their menstruation earlier after childbirth. Many women think that menstruation will not resume so quickly, and as a result, they mistake menstruation for lochia. Women's menstruation during lactation is not very regular. As long as the color of the menstrual period is not abnormal and it is not long-term and heavy, there is no need to worry too much. You should supplement nutrition in time to prevent anemia.

In other cases, the lochia itself has not been completely discharged, but the women themselves think it has been completely discharged. Nowadays, many women who have just given birth are resting in bed. When they are resting in bed, it seems that the lochia has been completely discharged. However, once they get up and move around, the blood circulation begins to accelerate and the uterine contraction will also increase. At this time, the remaining lochia will be discharged again. The lochia was not completely discharged before, but it was very little at a certain period of time.

After the lochia is discharged, there is abnormal vaginal discharge, which needs attention

If the lochia is discharged, but there is a lot of vaginal secretions again after a few days, and the color of these secretions is abnormal, or they are yellow, or red, and have an unpleasant odor, it is most likely that the mother has an intrauterine infection. Such women are often accompanied by abdominal pain and high fever. They need to be hospitalized in time to control the infection, check the site of infection, and provide timely treatment according to the actual breastfeeding situation of the mother.

It is normal for some women to have lochia again two days after it has stopped, because they may feel that it is clean, but in fact it is not. It may also be menstruation, which is mistaken for lochia. In short, if lochia does not stop, you should go to the hospital's gynecology department for examination in time. Consult a doctor and receive appropriate medical treatment under his guidance.
