What causes prolonged or recurring lochia after childbirth?

The main causes of recurrent lochia after childbirth include: 1. Poor uterine involution: If proper self-care is not observed postpartum, the recovery of the uterus may be affected, leading to poor uterine involution and resulting in recurrent lochia. 2. Intrauterine infection: Failure to maintain proper hygiene of the perineal area after delivery may allow bacteria to infect the uterine cavity, causing abnormal uterine bleeding and recurrent lochia. 3. Retained tissue: If placental or fetal membrane tissues are not completely expelled during delivery and remain in the uterine cavity, this may also lead to recurrent lochia. 4. Premature nutritional supplementation: Some new mothers consume certain foods too early, such as sesame oil chicken, which may interfere with the normal discharge of lochia and cause it to recur. 5. Other factors: Reduced frequency or temporary cessation of breastfeeding may also affect lochia discharge, leading to recurrence. Recurrent lochia after childbirth may be related to various factors, and appropriate treatment measures should be taken based on specific circumstances.
