How long can the lochia be discharged after childbirth

Generally, lochia will be discharged within 4-6 weeks after childbirth. Because women's uterine contractility is different, the specific time for lochia to disappear is not well determined. Women can massage the uterus after childbirth to promote uterine contractility and promote lochia discharge. Pregnant women also need more rest and eat more fruits and vegetables to provide milk containing sufficient nutrients for their babies.
