Lochia: Normal shedding of blood and decidua after delivery is referred to as lochia. The total volume of postpartum lochial secretion is 200 to 500 mL, which passes over a mean duration of one month. Interestingly, up to 15% of women continue to pass lochia for six to eight weeks. Determination of hemoglobin after delivery is prudent. Anemia after delivery is common, specially if there was hemorrhage.
