It was a bit embarrassing for Du Jiang to say his wife was sick in front of an outsider.
But Yan Ting had no such scruples and blurted out, "Du Heng, it's been almost a month since I gave birth. Why is there still so much lochia?"
Upon entering diagnostic mode, Du Heng put aside any thoughts about gender, focused entirely on his role as a doctor, and felt no awkwardness.
Hearing Yan Ting's account, Du Heng's mind raced, and knowledge about postpartum conditions quickly surfaced. "Lochia that recedes slowly usually lasts for three to four weeks," he explained. "You've just finished your confinement period, so it's normal to still have some."
At this point, Yan Ting said, "I looked it up online, and it said the same thing you did—that some women do take longer. But by this stage, the amount is usually minimal for most, while mine is still quite a lot."
"Hasn't it decreased at all?"
"It had already become very little, but then it suddenly increased a few days ago."
