Patient's question:
Now it has been nine and a half months postpartum and my menstrual cycle has been irregular. But now my period has been 20 days without coming. After giving birth, I didn't have such a long period of time—after about 10 days, it basically stopped. But after having sex, it hasn't come for 20 days now. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Considering this phenomenon or whether the uterine function has completely recovered again, it's an issue to consider. Don't be anxious; relax your mind. It's recommended that you visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a thorough examination to rule out any organic diseases of the uterus. If you are breastfeeding the child, medication should be used appropriately. If medication is necessary, it's suggested that you consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and use traditional Chinese medicine. For gynecological patients, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it's also important to pay attention to self-care training, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and eating less spicy and irritating foods. Finally, it's advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations!
