If it's your first menstrual period after giving birth, and you're experiencing severe abdominal pain and heavy bleeding, what should you do?

Patient's question:

First time having a period after a crowd, stomach pain, heavy flow

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is normal for menstrual flow to be slightly heavier in the first two days before the period. Having blood clots is also not abnormal. This is related to the shedding level of the endometrium. If the menstrual flow exceeds 80ml, it is necessary to determine the cause. Long-term menorrhagia may be caused by factors such as infection, endometrial ectopia, uterine fibroids, blood disorders, or functional abnormalities.
Suggestions: Have an ultrasound and check the six sex hormones to identify the cause and then treat accordingly. Pay attention to keeping warm and resting during the period.
