Patient's question:
All symptoms: I have been having a Caesarean section for more than a month, but my menstruation has not ended. What's wrong? There was no abnormality in the ultrasound. Onset time and cause: Treatment status: Desired help: How can I recover quickly?Doctor's answer:
From a medical perspective, based on the histological changes of the endometrium, it is possible that the ovaries may ovulate as early as 33-42 days postpartum. Additionally, at 6 weeks postpartum, the presence of the corpus luteum after ovulation can be observed. Therefore, if the mother is not breastfeeding, menstruation typically occurs within 6-8 weeks postpartum. Research data shows that among non-breastfeeding mothers, approximately 40% resume ovulation by 6 weeks postpartum; by 8-12 weeks postpartum, about 35% of mothers have not yet resumed ovulation and menstruation. Among breastfeeding mothers, about 25% resume ovulation and menstruation by 12 weeks postpartum, while most breastfeeding mothers typically do not fully recover ovulatory function until around 18 weeks postpartum.
