lochia

In some few cases however, the lochia continues to flow, or even increases, and the breasts remain full up to the time of death.

The odor of the lochia is at first that of fresh blood; later it has the odor peculiar to these parts.

In other cases the lochia continues too long, or in too great quantity, owing to the deficiency of venous absorption.

The first few days the lochia is very red because of the large amount of blood which it contains.

The lochia were discharged regularly; and in three weeks, she was able to sit up, and in three more, quite well.
