What should I do if my period is irregular after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

Three months after a cesarean section, my period came again, and it hasn't come for another one and a half months. Is it pregnancy or what? I had a cesarean section on July 16th and want to know the reason why my period hasn't come yet.

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, it is unlikely that you are pregnant if you have been breastfeeding continuously. During breastfeeding, menstrual cycles may be irregular, with some women not having periods at all, while others experience irregular cycles. If you are not breastfeeding, the absence of a menstrual period should be considered a possible sign of pregnancy. I recommend taking a urine pregnancy test to confirm whether you are pregnant. For patients who have undergone cesarean sections, it is advisable to combine symptomatic treatment with the use of folk remedies as supplementary therapy in daily life. Proper dietary habits should be maintained in daily life to avoid stimulating foods.
