What are the reasons for reduced menstrual flow after giving birth

Patient's question:

Since having my child, my menstrual flow has decreased, less than one-third of what it used to be. Moreover, every time I have my period, if I don't drink brown sugar water, the blood is dark red with clots, and the amount is very little. If I drink brown sugar water, the menstrual blood comes down, and I experience severe headaches, nausea, dry heaving, dizziness, unable to open my eyes, and unbearable pain. I dare not drink brown sugar water anymore. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Menstruation may be caused by the following reasons: The most common cause is endocrine-related issues, such as abnormal hormone secretion or anovulation. Additionally, it may be due to problems with the endometrium itself, such as endometrial tuberculosis leading to endometrial inflammation or artificial abortion and curettage resulting in thin endometrium.
It's fine to drink brown sugar water for headaches. However, since I can't see your specific condition, it's still recommended that you visit a regular hospital for examination as soon as possible to achieve early detection and early treatment.
