امرأة بعد الولادة بخمسة أيام، الإفرازات المهبلية صارت بنية وردية بكمية أقل. ماذا يعني ذلك؟

Five days after birth, a woman’s lochia has become pinkish-brown and lighter. What does this mean?

1. The start of dangerous late bleeding
2. Confirmed retained placenta
3. Normal progression of lochia
4. A sign of uterine infection

Answer: C) Normal progression of lochia. Lochia progresses from rubra (first 3 days) to serosa then alba. Foul odour, fever or return of heavy red bleeding needs assessment.
