Caesarean section 76 days still lochia

As we all know, normal women will produce lochia after giving birth. Some people also call lochia menstruation. In fact, lochia and menstruation are not the same. Lochia refers to the discharge of some brown and dirty substances from the body. Women will also have lochia after caesarean section, but the normal lochia period is generally 5 to 15 days. So what should I do if there is still lochia 76 days after caesarean section?

The lochia will be discharged in about 3 weeks after delivery, but for some women with weaker bodies, it may take up to 6 weeks to be discharged. If the lochia continues to flow out and the amount does not decrease after this period of time, it is called "retained lochia". It is related to physical weakness, mostly due to qi deficiency, blood stasis or blood heat. It may lead to local and systemic infections, and in severe cases, sepsis may occur. The main principles should be to tonify deficiency and remove blood stasis. Use warm water to dissolve 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution. The diet should be light and nutritious. You can eat chicken soup, longan soup, jujube soup, fresh lotus root, pear, cucumber, watermelon, tomato and other fruits. Be careful when eating raw, cold or spicy food. Try postpartum lochia cream.

Thirty to forty days after a caesarean section, you should be ready to have your period. It is recommended that you observe your symptoms. If there is no continuous increase in bleeding and no fever, it should be menstruation, not infection.

This has nothing to do with eating watermelon. I was eating apples the night after my cesarean section. It is a feudal saying that you cannot eat fruit after giving birth. Caesarean section takes longer than natural birth. I also had a caesarean section. After one month, I thought my lochia was gone, but a few days later, a little bit came back again. It kept happening over and over again. I asked the doctor, and he said this was normal and that I must pay attention to hygiene during this period. In this case, I should go for a postpartum check-up again two months later. Don't worry

The recovery from a caesarean section is relatively slow, taking at least one and a half months. It is recommended that you do not have sex for the time being. Wait until you have fully recovered, and then you can have sex again after three months.
