43 days after delivery, the lochia is not clear

Because the female uterus is severely damaged during pregnancy, it takes a long time for the female uterus to recover after giving birth. During the recovery period of the uterus, the discharge of lochia is an effective way to promote the recovery of the uterus. Because lochia is caused by the embryonic remnants and placental decidua produced around the uterus after delivery, the lochia of a normal mother will be completely discharged in about a month. But why does lochia still exist 43 days after delivery?

First of all, the occurrence of this situation indicates that the uterus is poorly involuted. At the same time, the possibility of pregnancy-related diseases or poor healing, infection, etc. cannot be ruled out. It is necessary to re-examine the ultrasound to see whether there are abnormal echoes in the uterine cavity, the size of the uterus, and the condition of the incision. If there are abnormal echoes in the uterine cavity, uterine cleaning may be required. If the uterus is not involuted properly, medications to promote uterine contraction need to be taken. At the same time, antibiotics should be used prophylactically to prevent infection. If the incision does not heal well, the decision on whether to use conservative treatment or take other further measures should be made based on the specific situation.

In addition, we must also consider that the exudate is caused by the injury after cesarean section, which is generally a normal phenomenon. Pay attention to observe and check again after 2 weeks. Under normal circumstances, lochia will last for 4-6 weeks after delivery. Of course, it is normal to delay it for one week. During this process, it is recommended to keep a happy mood and not be nervous, pay attention to diet and personal hygiene, take blood circulation and blood stasis-removing drugs when necessary, and have regular check-ups.

The reasons why lochia has not stopped 43 days after caesarean section are quite complicated, but no matter what the cause is, female friends are advised to get checked in time to understand their body's recovery status. After a caesarean section, you also need to make a correct assessment of your physical condition and be sure to follow the doctor's advice. After your body recovers, you can resume a normal diet or normal exercise. This is very important for female friends.
