Patient's question:
Since having my baby, I've noticed that my menstrual flow has been very light every time, and the duration of my period has also become irregular. I don't know whether it's due to poor postpartum care and malnutrition or whether my body has changed after giving birth. So, I'd like to seek everyone's help here. How should I deal with irregular menstruation and a light menstrual flow?Doctor's answer:
After childbirth, a woman's entire endocrine system undergoes significant changes, which may lead to the recurrence of menstrual disorders. It is advisable to take some care and consider getting a check-up for the six sex hormones. In addition to a comprehensive evaluation using ultrasound, it's important to determine the underlying cause. Then, a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine can be used for regulation. During breastfeeding, it's recommended to drink more light soups and avoid spicy foods to prevent further issues.
