CORE DEFINITION

The residual blood and turbid fluid discharged from the vagina after childbirth.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Cleaning an old house. After giving birth, the uterus must remove and expel all the old interior (placental remnants, blood stasis) as lochia before it can renovate the new house. If lochia does not cease, it indicates that the cleaner (qi deficiency) lacks strength, or the garbage (blood stasis) is stuck to the walls.

Lochia is a normal process of the uterus expelling residual blood and turbid fluid after childbirth. If it persists beyond the normal duration, or if the color, quality, or odor are abnormal, it is termed 'lochiorrhea' (persistent lochia), often due to qi deficiency failing to control blood, blood heat, or blood stasis obstruction, requiring differentiated treatment.

Glass Walls

Distinct from the 'glass ceiling' (vertical promotion barrier), it refers to women or minority groups being isolated in certain functional departments (e.g., HR, administration), making it difficult to move laterally to core business departments (e.g., sales, R&D), thereby lacking the key experience needed for promotion.

Inertia

Inertia is the natural tendency of objects in motion to stay in motion and objects at rest to stay at rest, unless a force causes its velocity to change. It is one of the fundamental principles in classical physics, and is described by Isaac Newton in his first law of motion (also known as The Principle of Inertia). It is one of the primary manifestations of mass, one of the core quantitative properties of physical systems.
