Patient's question:
I had a cesarean section. The child is now 7 months old. My period came. I feel heartbroken because the amount is more than before. It also contains blood clots. My stomach hurts a bit. I want to ask what is the reason for having my period 7 months after a cesarean section?Doctor's answer:
This situation is somewhat related to blood qi deficiency during the postpartum period. It is normal to have a menstrual period seven months after childbirth. You can take some medication during your period to increase blood volume, or you can apply moxibustion to the Zusanli point, Sanyinjiao point, and Yinbai point when your blood volume is abundant, which can also help increase blood volume. For severe cesarean section patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Do not change medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect.
