Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to ask how to deal with reduced menstrual flow after giving birth. I am 24 years old, and my baby was born last October. After giving birth, I noticed that my menstrual flow has been very light for two months. At first, I thought it was because I had just given birth, but after so long, I realized it is still the same.Doctor's answer:
After giving birth, the menstrual flow has significantly increased. It is necessary to check the thickness of the uterine lining. If there is damage to the uterine lining during childbirth, it can lead to a reduction in menstrual flow. Additionally, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) may also cause a decrease in menstrual flow.It is recommended that you visit the hospital for a follow-up examination, undergo a gynecological check-up, an MRI scan, and have a female hormone test to determine the cause of the reduced menstrual flow. If necessary, hormone therapy may be administered.
