Patient's question:
Postpartum menstrual irregularity for over a year, about a year now. It's always delayed by half a month. This time, after the menstrual period was delayed by five days, there was bleeding during intercourse, and a small amount of black objects were expelled. There were no other discomforts in the body.Doctor's answer:
Hello, after childbirth, prolactin levels often decrease during breastfeeding, which can lead to the recurrence of menstrual irregularities. In most cases, this condition will return to normal three to six months after resuming lactation.Guidance and suggestions:
- It is recommended to wait and see for a while. If there is frequent skin peeling after sexual intercourse, it is necessary to visit a hospital for a cervical screening to rule out the possibility of cervical erosion.
- If menstrual cycles are frequently delayed, it may be helpful to consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for herbal treatments to nourish the kidneys and replenish qi and blood for a period of time.
Cervical disease is a gynecological condition that is prone to recurrence. During medication, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good hygiene. Wishing all female patients a speedy recovery.
