Patient's question:
I had a C-section almost four months ago and haven't had my period yet. Is this considered normal? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The time it takes for menstruation to fully return varies, with some women experiencing it as early as after the postpartum month, while others may not see it return until their baby is one year old. New mothers who breastfeed tend to have a later return of menstruation, with some not experiencing it for a full year. Most women have a heavier first period compared to their usual cycle, but the second period typically returns to normal, so treatment is not necessary. It is important to focus on proper dietary care and maintain a balanced nutrition, ensuring that the body efficiently digests and absorbs nutrients.
