Lochiorrhea refers to the excessive vaginal discharge of lochia, which is the normal vaginal discharge that occurs after childbirth, consisting of blood, uterine tissue, and mucus. Lochiorrhea may indicate a complication following childbirth, such as infection or retained placental fragments. It is primarily used in medical contexts and is not commonly encountered in everyday conversation, leading to infrequent use in both oral and written language.

Lochiorrhea is not commonly used in idiomatic expressions due to its specialized medical meaning. However, understanding terms related to childbirth and postpartum care may provide context where this condition is referenced. Here are some medical expressions that may relate to women's health:
"Postpartum complications" can include lochiorrhea when there is an abnormal discharge.
Translation: 출산 후 합병증에는 비정상적인 분비물이 있는 로키오리리가 포함될 수 있습니다.
"Retained products of conception" can lead to lochiorrhea if not properly managed.

"Uterine contractions" may be necessary if lochiorrhea is due to retained tissue.

The word "lochiorrhea" is derived from the Greek roots "lochia," meaning "relating to childbirth," and "rrhea," meaning "flow" or "discharge." This reflects its specific medical meaning as it pertains to the flow of post-delivery discharge.
This term is particularly relevant in medical discourse about postpartum care and should be used with caution to ensure proper context in conversations or writings.
