Patient's question:
I had a cesarean section surgery a year ago, and I may have been breastfeeding ever since, so it took a year for my period to come back. However, my first period only lasted three days and then stopped. The second period was delayed by almost a week, and now the third period has not arrived yet. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
After the return of menstruation postpartum, it is possible to experience irregular menstrual cycles again in a short period due to the influence of hormonal levels in the body and the reason for breastfeeding. During this stage, most cases do not require treatment. It is sufficient to use proper contraceptive measures during sexual intercourse. As long as the occurrence of unintended pregnancy is avoided, most issues are not serious, and it is possible to focus on careful observation. At the same time, avoid overexertion or staying up late. It is recommended to seek timely treatment and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. Additionally, pay attention to self-care, maintain a balanced diet, and avoid worsening the condition. The above answer is hoped to be helpful to you. Thank you.
