Lochia

The vaginal discharge that occurs after childbirth, consisting of blood, mucus, and uterine tissue. It progresses through three stages: bright red (lochia rubra), pinkish-brown (lochia serosa), and yellowish-white (lochia alba). The total duration lasts up to six weeks, with breastfeeding potentially increasing bleeding. (Source: Verywell Health)
