Every postpartum mother has to go through the process of excreting lochia, but their experiences are different. If it goes well, it can be excreted on time, and some will be incredibly scattered.
So do you really understand the definition of postpartum lochia?
During pregnancy, the intermediary for the fetus to absorb nutrients from the uterus is placenta . After giving birth, some of the placenta and fetal membrane will be left in the uterus, which is also called decidual tissue . Therefore, in month period, the excretion of similar "menstrual period" will continue to occur in , which we call it "loodour".
So what is the difference between lochia and menstruation?
One is the difference in color and quantity: we can intuitively distinguish between quantity, color and quality. The color of lochia is relatively dark, the quantity is also large, the texture is thick and the smell is strong. The second is the duration: the complete excretion of normal lochia takes 4 to 6html for 6 weeks, and the normal menstrual cycle is basically clean in 6 days. The time for menstruation after childbirth will be affected by breastfeeding.
2. The excretion of lochia can be divided into three stages:
Lochia changes with time and situation, and the taste and texture of each stage are different:
① Blood lochia: Generally, it appears in 1-4 days after delivery, with bright red or dark red color, and a relatively large amount, and will be accompanied by more or less blood clots and other residual necrotic decidual tissue excretion.
②Slurry lochia: Generally, the texture is slurry 5-15 days after delivery, and the color becomes light red, and the amount is reduced compared with the previous one.
③ White lochia: After the slurry, the amount and color become smaller and lighter, similar to leucorrhea , but the amount is more than leucorrhea, which generally lasts for 2-3 weeks. In total, the total lochia excretion takes about 42 days, which is why the doctor recommends that this time be chosen for postpartum re-examination. After the lochia is completely excreted, it is necessary to improve the B ultrasound and leucorrhea examination to check how the body recovers.
3. If the following " signal " appears after delivery, the mother should pay attention to it.
①""
If you find that the amount of bloody lochia after childbirth is abnormal, it can be compared with menstruation. If there is still a large amount of bleeding in one week after childbirth, and even "things" fall out, then you should pay attention to it, because this is abnormal lochia excretion. Consider postpartum bleeding , and seek medical attention in time.
②The smell is heavy and the smell is
. It is normal for lochia to have a certain bloody smell, but it will not be very heavy, or even foul. If the smell is very obvious, it means that there may be an inflammatory reaction. Common postpartum diseases include cervicitis , endometriitis , vaginitis , etc.
③ Loneliness that suddenly turns bright red
Generally, the color of loneliness will gradually change from dark red to transparent as time and body recovers. If it suddenly turns bright red, it will sound the alarm!
