What reason does postpartum defecate have lochia

summary

Many people don't understand the disease of lochia in postpartum stool. It usually takes 2-3 weeks for normal maternal lochia to be discharged. Many friends don't care much about this problem, usually not more than 3 weeks. But a small number of pregnant women may still have a little coffee lochia after one month. This is because the hormone produced by the ovary in the process of postpartum recovery makes the endometrial hyperplasia and peeling off, causing lochia mixed with menstruation. Postpartum stool lochia is what reason to tell you.

What reason does postpartum defecate have lochia

First: the amount of blood is too large to be normal (a piece of sanitary napkin is soaked within 1 hour, or large blood clots appear). This indicates massive postpartum hemorrhage, you need to go to the hospital immediately.

Second: if the lochia color has been lightened and bright red blood spots appear again, it means that you need to have a good rest. If blood spots still appear after a day's bed rest, you should go to the hospital.

Third: if you have a lot of bleeding and feel faint, be sure to call an ambulance immediately. Four days after delivery, lochia was still bright red.

matters needing attention

Do not use tampons for at least 6 weeks after delivery, because your vagina and uterus are getting old and your wound is healing. Using tampons will increase your risk of infection. Before lochia is clean, it is better to temporarily prohibit husband and wife from living to avoid infection. Rest as much as you can and don't strain yourself. At the beginning, you can use the thickened and enlarged sanitary napkins prepared by the hospital for you. After you go home, you should also buy more sanitary napkins to put at home. As lochia diminishes, you can use small sanitary napkins or pads instead.
