      Postpartum Lochia has been lingering for a long time, and I have been experiencing a dull pain in my abdomen, as if something was pulling at it, especially when breastfeeding. What is going on? The pain will be relieved by applying a hot water bottle locally.

      The above situation may be Uterus Poor involution and postpartum uterine contractions can cause pain. because baby Stimulating the nipples during sucking can reflexively cause uterine contractions, so it is aggravated during breastfeeding. If lochia is not clean for a long time, you should pay attention to endometrial inflammation. If necessary, do a B-ultrasound examination to see if there is any placenta residue. It is recommended to pay attention to preventing and treating infection. Strengthen the treatment of uterine contractions, use antibiotics and traditional Chinese medicine. If the B-ultrasound finds that there is placenta residue, a uterine evacuation is required. Within 24 hours after delivery, you should always pay attention to uterine contractions and vaginal bleeding. Check the fundus height every day and observe the nature of lochia.

      For those with postpartum pain, local hot compresses can be tried, or acupuncture at Guanyuan, Zhongji, Qugu and other points can be strongly stimulated, and painkillers can be taken if necessary. When uterine involution is poor, or there is residual placenta or fetal membranes, uterotonic agents such as ergometrine, mother ointment, etc. can be used. If necessary, the uterine cavity must be cured to remove residual placenta and fetal membranes. >>>> Women with abdominal pain should be careful5disease
