Why does black blood come back after the lochia is clear?

The so-called lochia refers to the dirt discharged from a woman's body, which is usually mixed with menstrual blood and flows out of the body. Don’t think that such a situation will have any impact on women’s bodies. In fact, the discharge of lochia is very helpful to women’s physical health. It’s just that because women may have some problems with their bodies, such as gynecological diseases, their menstruation may become irregular. So, why does black blood flow out again after the lochia is clean?

If the lochia comes again after it has cleared, it can be considered as menstruation. Generally, after the lochia is discharged, blood or other lochia-like substances will appear again. As long as the color is bright red, there is no foul odor or other abnormalities, it is mostly menstruation. There is no need to worry too much about this situation.

If the lochia comes again after it has been cleared, normal lochia should have no odor, the amount should be getting smaller and smaller, and the color should be getting lighter and lighter. If there is a large amount of bleeding with blood clots, a peculiar smell or other abnormalities, it is mostly due to inflammation and infection caused by the lochia. Be sure to seek medical treatment in time.

If the lochia comes again after it has cleared, it may be because the mother has eaten any blood-activating and nourishing food such as brown sugar, red dates, rice wine, longan, turtle, old hen, etc. within three months after delivery, which affected the time when the lochia was cleared. In addition, you must follow the doctor's advice when taking powerful blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs to avoid excessive postpartum bleeding and lochia.

If the lochia comes again after it has cleared, it may be related to poor uterine contraction after delivery. Uterine contraction can promote the discharge of lochia in the uterus and speed up uterine recovery. If the uterus contracts poorly, it is easy to have continuous uterine bleeding or intermittent bleeding. In this case, you need to see a doctor and get an auxiliary diagnosis through B-ultrasound.

How long does lochia last after childbirth?

Usually, within 3 to 4 days after delivery, the lochia flowing out of the vagina will be bright red. After a few days, it will slowly turn into brownish red or pink. After about 10 days, the lochia will turn into brownish yellow or milky yellow. For mothers who give birth naturally, on average, lochia will last until the third week after delivery. Some mothers will occasionally have a little bright red lochia after the 10th day after delivery, but if the flow is not much, it is actually not a big problem and there is no need to worry too much.

Why does black blood come out again after the lochia is clear? First of all, you need to determine whether the lochia is not stopping. If the lochia does not stop for a long time, you need to go to the hospital for treatment. It may be caused by incomplete uterine contraction. If the color and smell of the foul discharge are normal and the amount is not large, you can continue to observe for a period of time.
