The color of the discharge changes from bright red to light red and finally to white, and when abnormalities occur, prompt treatment is needed.
Dew is the liquid that comes out of the uterus during the puerperium, mainly containing blood, meconium tissue and fetal membranes, etc. There is more blood in the dew 3-4 days after delivery, and the dew is bright red at this time.
Thereafter, the blood in the discharge decreases and gradually becomes light red, which can last for about 10 days; finally, the red blood cells in the discharge disappear, and it contains a lot of white blood cells, bacteria and other substances, which are white in color, and it will be cured by itself after about 3 weeks, which is a normal physiological process in the puerperium.
Under normal circumstances, the normal discharge can be discharged in 4-6 weeks after delivery. If the discharge increases abnormally and lasts too long, it suggests that the uterus is not well restored and the placenta may be retained; if the patient is feverish and the discharge has a strange odor, it suggests that there is a possibility of puerperal infection.
Mothers should pay attention to the condition of the discharge, find abnormalities in the guidance of a professional physician for treatment, so as not to lead to adverse consequences.
