Women may experience lochia after childbirth, but the timing of lochia discharge varies from person to person. Due to different physical conditions, the time to eliminate lochia also varies. Some pregnant women may experience prolonged lochia after giving birth and become anxious about whether there is a problem with their own bodies. So, how can the posterior uterus quickly expel lochia?
Generally speaking, lochia is cleared within approximately 20 days after childbirth. Of course, some mothers may have a shorter duration, while others may have a longer duration. If you want to quickly eliminate lochia, you can drink more brown sugar water or motherwort in your daily life. Generally speaking, the lochia discharged is divided into three time periods, and the color of lochia in each time period is different. If the lochia discharged is already white, it indicates that the lochia period is about to end. At this time, you can choose to get out of bed and engage in some appropriate physical exercise, which can also help quickly eliminate lochia.
In fact, the time when lochia is clean is closely related to the delivery method of the mother and also to her physical condition. The recovery time of the uterus in vaginal delivery is shorter than that in cesarean section, and the amount of lochia discharged is also different. If the mother undergoes a cesarean section, the doctor will treat the blood clots, membranes, and placenta in the uterine cavity during the surgery. Therefore, the time for lochia to be cleared in women who choose a cesarean section is shorter than that of normal delivery, about two weeks.
