Is it a problem if the menstrual flow is less after giving birth?

Patient's question:

After giving birth to my baby, it took 10 months for my period to return. I don't know if it's because of supply causing my body to be relatively weak or other issues. The first period after giving birth had very little blood flow. I would like to ask if there is a problem with having a low amount of blood flow in the period after giving birth?

Doctor's answer:

During the postpartum lactation period, menstruation usually stops. When menstruation resumes, irregular periods may occur again. Generally, this improves gradually after two or three months. There is no need to be overly anxious or worried. It is important to relax and get adequate rest, avoiding overexertion. It is advisable to eat less spicy, stimulating, extremely cold, or refrigerated food. You can eat some foods that replenish qi and blood, such as lean meat, animal liver, jujubes, and longans.
