Causes of postpartum lochia
If you want to treat postpartum lochia, you must understand the cause and then prescribe the right medicine according to the cause. The following summarizes three reasons.
1, tissue residue
If the B-ultrasound examination shows that there is a slight lump in the uterus, it is necessary to clear the uterus, and the parturient can directly clear the uterus. If it is cesarean section, it is safer to curettage under the guidance of B-ultrasound, and treatment should be given to prevent infection and promote uterine contraction after operation.
2. Poor involution of postpartum uterus
B-ultrasound often suggests that the uterus is large, there is liquid in the uterine cavity, and there is a great possibility of hematocele. Due to poor postpartum uterine contraction, there is residual fluid and hematocele in the uterus, which leads to irregular vaginal bleeding. If this is the case, oxytocin must be injected intramuscularly or intravenously, and then Chinese medicine should be added to promote uterine contraction, and oral antibiotics should be taken to prevent infection if necessary. Insisting on breastfeeding is beneficial to postpartum uterine contraction and involution.
3, puerperal infection
Puerperal lochia is endometrial inflammation caused by puerperal infection. If this is the case, routine blood examination will indicate that white blood cells are increased and the neutral ratio is increased. B-ultrasound examination often indicates that there is no obvious abnormality, and those who need infusion and anti-infection treatment, if breastfeeding, it is best to use third-generation cephalosporins combined with metronidazole intravenous drip for 3-5 days.
Postpartum lochia is a problem that every parturient will face, so in order to solve this problem, the parturient should keep a correct attitude. If the postpartum lochia is endless, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible to find out the reason, and then treat it as soon as possible according to the reason to ensure your health and take better care of your baby.
The reason for the endless lochia in traditional Chinese medicine is as follows: the endless lochia in women after delivery may be caused by physical weakness. Most of them are lochia caused by qi deficiency and blood stasis or blood heat. Women with qi deficiency, insufficient blood gas before delivery, lost blood during delivery, and did not properly regulate and tonify after delivery, resulting in overwork and spleen injury, unable to take blood, and blood stasis leading to poor blood circulation; Women with blood heat will be forced to do it because of blood loss and yin deficiency during childbirth.
What symptoms does postpartum cervicitis have?
Postpartum cervicitis is mainly manifested in the increase of leucorrhea. Acute cervicitis leucorrhea is purulent, accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region, or bladder irritation symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency and dysuria. Chronic cervicitis leucorrhea is milky white mucus-like, or yellowish purulent; Severe cervical erosion or cervical polyp can be bloody leucorrhea or bleeding after sexual intercourse. Mild people may not have systemic symptoms. When inflammation spreads to the pelvic cavity along the uterosacral ligament, lumbosacral pain, abdominal distension and dysmenorrhea may occur, which are aggravated every time you defecate or have sex. In addition, viscous purulent leucorrhea is not conducive to infiltration, and it can also cause infertility. Therefore, once abnormal leucorrhea symptoms or abdominal pain appear, we should take timely treatment measures.
Cervicitis can be divided into acute and chronic types. Chronic cervicitis is common in clinic. Mainly manifested as an increase in leucorrhea, showing viscous mucus or purulent mucus, sometimes accompanied by bloodshot or sandwiched with bloodshot. Chronic mechanical stimulation for a long time is the main cause of cervicitis. Such as frequent sexual life or abortion, childbirth, abortion, etc., can damage the cervix, lead to bacterial invasion and form inflammation, or be directly infected by pyogenic bacteria, or flush the vagina with high-concentration acidic or alkaline solution, or be caused by foreign body infection placed or left in the vagina.
Often due to the incomplete treatment of acute cervicitis, the pathogen is hidden in the cervical mucosa to form chronic inflammation, which is more common in infections caused by pathogen invasion after childbirth, abortion or surgical injury to the cervix.
After going to the hospital for examination or going to a third-class first-class hospital for examination. Do not take anti-inflammatory drugs for a long time, which will lead to drug resistance and flora imbalance, leading to more serious inflammatory infection. It is suggested that the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine will not form drug resistance and the treatment effect will be better. Recommended Chinese patent medicine: Fuke Qianjin tablet (capsule), generally speaking, 34 courses of treatment, 23 courses of treatment for mild patients, 14 days, 1 course of treatment.
