About the Service

The "fourth trimester"—the first 12 weeks following childbirth—is a critical period of physical healing, hormonal shifts, and emotional adaptation. While attention naturally focuses on the newborn, maternal recovery is equally essential. At Dr. Dang's Clinic, Dr. Vishakha Ahuja Dang provides comprehensive postpartum management, evaluating uterine involution, episiotomy or C-section wound healing, lactation support, emotional well-being, pelvic floor rehabilitation, and healthy postpartum spacing.

When to Seek Medical Advice

If you or a family member notice any of the following common signs or symptoms, scheduling a timely clinical consultation can ensure early diagnosis and peace of mind:

Wound Healing Check (C-Section / Episiotomy)

Ensuring stitches are healing cleanly without redness, discharge, or localized pain.

Breastfeeding & Lactation Challenges

Addressing nipple soreness, latching difficulties, engorgement, or blocked milk ducts.

Persistent Postpartum Bleeding (Lochia)

Monitoring the transition of normal lochia flow and ruling out delayed postpartum bleeding.

Postpartum Emotional Wellness & Fatigue

Screening for baby blues, postpartum mood changes, exhaustion, or anxiety.

Frequently Asked Questions

An early checkup is typically scheduled at 1 to 2 weeks (for wound inspection and breastfeeding support), followed by a comprehensive 6-week postnatal checkup.

Lochia gradually transitions from bright red to pink-brown and finally yellowish-white over 4 to 6 weeks. If bleeding suddenly becomes heavy with large clots, call the clinic.

Baby blues (mood swings, crying spells) are very common and resolve within 2 weeks. If feelings of deep sadness, anxiety, or detachment persist beyond 2 weeks, reaching out for support is important.
