Patient's question:
I don't know what happened recently, but I haven't had my period since giving birth. I've been very worried about myself, wondering if I have a disease. A few days ago, there was a very small amount of blood, then it cleared up. What could be the reason for not having a period after a cesarean section?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, there is a situation of no future menstruation after childbirth. If you have been exclusively breastfeeding postpartum, then it is normal not to have a menstrual period before weaning. The minimal spotting in the past few days should be the manifestation of menstruation. During the first menstrual period after childbirth, due to the incomplete recovery of ovarian function, abnormal conditions are common. As ovarian function gradually recovers completely, menstruation will also gradually return to normal.For patients facing difficulties after cesarean section, we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles and avoid delaying medical consultation. If the cesarean section condition does not improve with treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
