After the lochia is clear, there is blood again

Lochia refers to the blood, mucus, etc. discharged from the vagina after a woman gives birth. Once the mother's body has fully recovered, the lochia will naturally decrease. However, many women also experience the problem of fresh blood after the lochia has cleared up after a normal delivery. This may be caused by normal heavy menstruation or poor uterine recovery. Different causes require different care measures.

1. What is the reason for fresh blood after the lochia is clean after normal delivery?

If there is fresh blood after the lochia has cleared during a normal delivery, it is generally considered to be menstruation. The first menstrual flow after a normal delivery may be heavier, but the second one will be normal. However, it may also be that the uterus is not recovering well, the lochia is not clear, or an infection has occurred. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination to clarify the specific situation.

2. What should I do if there is fresh blood after the lochia is clean after a normal delivery?

1. If it is menstruation, don't worry too much. It is a normal situation and just treat it as normal menstruation.

2. If the redness remains persistent, seek medical attention immediately to avoid excessive blood loss or even shock.

3. What to do if the lochia during normal delivery cannot be discharged completely

1. Go to the hospital to check whether there is infection or placenta residue. If there is, it should be treated in time to avoid systemic infection.

2. Measure the degree of uterine contraction regularly. If necessary, ask your doctor for uterotonics to help recovery.

3. Under the guidance of a professional doctor, Chinese medicine treatment is used to help the discharge of lochia, with the focus on nourishing blood, activating blood circulation, promoting qi and removing blood stasis.

4. Precautions during lochia after normal delivery

1. Scientific diet:

The loss of a large amount of blood and body fluids during childbirth causes mothers to be physically weak. Supplementing nutrition and water is beneficial to the body's recovery. Drinking more brown sugar water can also help to discharge lochia.

2. Pay attention to keep warm, but not too warm:

After a normal delivery, the mother will be weak and susceptible to wind and cold, so she must take good care to keep warm to avoid catching a cold and getting sick, which will be detrimental to the body's recovery and the discharge of lochia. However, it should not be too warm, as it may cause the mother to suffer from heat stroke, become ill, or even endanger her life.

3. Keep the indoor air fresh, but avoid convection wind:

The circulation of fresh air indoors is beneficial to the early recovery of the body's qi and blood, but convection wind can easily cause the weak body of the mother after a normal delivery to catch a cold and become ill.

4. Keep clean and avoid infection:

Keep the perineum clean, use running water to wash it as much as possible, wash and change sanitary products frequently to avoid infection of the uterine cavity.

5. Prohibition of sexual intercourse:

Before the lochia is completely discharged, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited!
