Postpartum lochia discharge is incomplete, and pain caused by the stagnation of retained blood is also common. However, this differs from pain due to deficiency; it is characterized by gradually worsening pain, or obstruction of urination and defecation, or hardness and distension in the lower abdomen with severe pain that cannot tolerate touch, or pain rushing upward from below to strike the heart and abdomen, or extreme pain causing lockjaw. When such excess syndrome manifestations occur, blood stasis should be rapidly expelled.
