Patient's question:
I didn't get my first period until more than a year after giving birth, but the second one is already over 20 days late. Is that normal? ?? I had a few sexual encounters after my first period. Could I be pregnant again? How likely is that? Or does it take a few more periods for the cycle to become regular?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the first thing to do in your situation is to rule out pregnancy. You can check your urine with a pregnancy test kit to find out. It's a bit unusual for your first period to come a year after giving birth, but it does happen with some women who are breastfeeding for such a long time. You can take some menstrual regulation medication.Irregular menstruation not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it's best to have a B examination at the gynecology department of a hospital. After identifying the cause, you can receive targeted treatment. Also, pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the vulvar area clean.
