Massage the abdomen and uterus in a clockwise motion.

Massaging the abdomen and uterus every day can promote blood circulation in the abdomen and uterus, and promote the discharge of secretions such as blood clots from the body. This is very helpful for clearing lochia and repairing the uterus. Do it 3 times a day, each time for about 10 minutes.

Get out of bed and move around more.

One week after delivery, you must get out of bed and walk around more to promote blood circulation throughout the body, which is also very helpful for the discharge of lochia.

If this time is exceeded and the amount of discharge is large and has a foul odor, uterine infection may have occurred and you must see a doctor immediately.
