What should I do if my period is irregular during breastfeeding?

Patient's question:

What should I do about irregular menstruation during breastfeeding? Last time it came on the 11th of this month, and the amount wasn't very much. Now it has come again. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

You are currently in the postpartum period, and your menstrual cycle has become irregular again. During the postpartum period, due to hormonal fluctuations, ovarian function has not fully returned to normal. It is normal to experience irregular menstruation again. If you have been having two menstrual periods in two weeks, you can undergo a gynecological color ultrasound examination to check for any abnormalities in the uterine appendages and then receive targeted medication for treatment.
For gynecological patients, in addition to timely treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care. For example, pay close attention to personal hygiene, avoid sexual activity during medication, maintain cleanliness, do not have intercourse, and reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods.
