POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy11 months agoA. It's not uncommon to experience bleeding for several weeks after delivery, known as lochia. Here are some general guidelines:
Typical Bleeding Timeline:
Lochia: It can last from a few days up to 6 weeks postpartum. It usually starts heavy, gradually becoming lighter in color and flow.
Variability: Fluctuations in bleeding (such as stopping and starting again) can occur, especially with physical activity or changes in hormone levels.
When to Consult a Doctor:
Prolonged Bleeding: If you are bleeding heavily (soaking through a pad in an hour), or if the bleeding continues beyond 6 weeks, it’s important to consult your healthcare provider.
Other Symptoms: If you experience severe pain, fever, or foul-smelling discharge, seek medical advice promptly.
It's best to discuss your specific situation with your healthcare provider to ensure everything is healing properly and to rule out any complications.
