Patient's question:
My baby was born via cesarean section on July 30th, and it has been five and a half months now. I haven't had my period yet, and the baby is still breastfeeding. Sometimes I feel a slight itch and pain in the incision, as if the baby has absorbed all the nutrients, and the wound hasn't healed yet? Has the uterus not fully recovered yet? How long will it take before I get my period?》 Moreover, my abdomen skin is quite loose now, and it becomes very big after eating a full meal, which is a nuisance.Doctor's answer:
Five and a half months after a cesarean section, your period hasn't come. There's slight itching and pain in the wound, which is considered to be caused by insufficient qi and blood. Excessive blood loss during a cesarean section can be more significant. In addition to digesting and nourishing after surgery, it's important to replenish qi and blood promptly, which is beneficial for the return of menstruation. It's recommended that you take Ejiao oral liquid to replenish qi and blood. As long as qi and blood are abundant, menstruation will naturally return. The wound has some itching and pain, which can gradually heal completely, and there's no major issue. You can now wear a belly binding belt and practice yoga together, which can effectively tighten the abdomen. You also need to remove the possibility of not being pregnant, as these methods can only be used if you are indeed pregnant. I hope this helps you.
