Patient's question:
Hello, I am a first-time mother. I had a cesarean section when giving birth, and now I have been seven months postpartum. I haven't had my period since, and I have been breastfeeding. Last month, I had a thorough check-up at the hospital and was told that my uterus has returned to normal, but my period still hasn't come. I'm not sure if I might be pregnant.Doctor's answer:
The recovery of menstruation varies from person to person. Some women regain their periods one month after giving birth, while others take 3 or 4 months, and some take a year or more. It is normal for your menstruation not to have fully returned yet. The absence of menstruation does not mean you are not ovulating, so it is important to continue breastfeeding.Note: When a woman menstruates while breastfeeding, it may cause digestive issues in the baby, but this is a temporary condition that will return to normal after the period ends. Please pay close attention. Wishing you and your baby good health.
In addition to taking medication for cesarean section treatment, patients also need to pay attention to postpartum care, such as maintaining a light diet and staying active outdoors. At the same time, patients should choose a reputable hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic outcome.
