After delivery, the uterine decidua falls off and contains blood and necrotic decidual tissue, which is discharged through the vagina and is called lochia. Depending on its color, contents and time, lochia is divided into bloody lochia, serous lochia and white lochia. Normal lochia has a bloody smell but no odor, lasts for 4-6 weeks, and the total volume is 250-500ml. If the uterus is incompletely involuted or there is residual placenta in the uterine cavity, there is a large amount of fetal membranes or there is infection, the lochia will increase, the bloody lochia will last longer and have a foul odor, so I hope that you friends will not worry too much.

What are the dangers of caesarean section?

Cesarean section is a man-made injury and has certain hazards. For example, if a normal diet is resumed late after cesarean section, it can easily lead to a decrease in postpartum milk secretion. Generally, it takes 3-4 days for women who have undergone cesarean section to produce milk. However, due to the improvement of medical technology, I believe it will be of some help to the condition. In addition, abdominal wall scars affect appearance and can easily cause scar pregnancy. Generally, women can be discharged from the hospital within 2-3 days after a natural birth, while the wound from a cesarean section takes 5-6 days to heal. From an economic perspective, the hospitalization time and medical expenses for a cesarean section are much higher than those for a normal birth.

The editor hopes that female friends can relieve their psychological pressure after understanding some knowledge about cesarean section and decide whether to have a cesarean section. Then friends who have undergone cesarean section should pay attention to their health, pay attention to daily rest, and pay attention to daily life so that their bodies can recover faster.
