After a woman gives birth to a baby, she will have postpartum lochia discharge. Many pregnant women experience persistent lochia after delivery, which is an abnormal condition. It may be caused by poor uterine repair or gynecological diseases. This requires immediate medical attention. So, what should I do if I still have postpartum lochia two months after my cesarean section?

What should I do if I still have postpartum lochia two months after cesarean section?

If a woman still has lochia two months after a caesarean section, she should go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. It is important to determine the bleeding and infection in the uterine cavity. Once the cause is discovered, treatment should be sought immediately. There are many gynecological diseases that cause persistent lochia in postpartum women. Therefore, when pregnant women have persistent lochia, it is necessary to screen for gynecological diseases and actively treat the underlying diseases to solve the problem of persistent lochia after delivery.

Many women who have just given birth have persistent lochia, which is all caused by poor uterine contractions. Therefore, when pregnant women's postpartum lochia continues to occur, they need to pay attention to the problem of uterine contractions. If the contraction frequency is slow, they should take medicine to increase uterine contractions, which can solve the problem of postpartum lochia.

Pregnant women should also breastfeed their babies every day, which can not only increase the secretion of breast milk, but also promote the contraction of the uterus. The uterine contractions of women after giving birth are closely related to the discharge of postpartum lochia. The contraction of the uterus is improved, which can speed up the discharge of lochia, thereby allowing the lochia to be discharged earlier.
