Question
On the 20th day postpartum, there is still a large amount of discharge, and the menstrual periods are irregular. How should it be treated?
Answer
According to the postpartum recovery process, it is normal to have discharge 20 days postpartum. However, if it is accompanied by irregular menstrual periods, it may be due to irregular endometrial shedding. At this time, you should observe the amount of bleeding and abdominal pain. There is no need to worry excessively. Generally, during the re-examination after 42 days postpartum, the doctor will conduct a comprehensive check-up of the body’s recovery. In the meantime, you can rest well, avoid strenuous exercise, and maintain good personal hygiene habits to help your body recover naturally.
