About how long after a cesarean section will menstruation return

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The return of menstruation after childbirth varies from person to person. It can come as early as 6 to 8 weeks postpartum, or as late as one year or one and a half years. Moreover, after menstruation resumes, irregular cycles may occur due to hormonal adjustments in the body. During breastfeeding, the production of prolactin inhibits ovulation, which also affects menstruation.
