Patient's question:
Doctor: Hello! I was born on August 28th, and I haven't had my period yet. It took about half a month after giving birth for the blood to stop flowing. Up to now, my period still hasn't come. So, when is the safe period, and when is the dangerous period?Doctor's answer:
The return of menstruation after childbirth is a natural physiological phenomenon for women. The time of postpartum menstruation recovery varies, with some women experiencing it as early as after the full moon, while others may not see it return until their baby is one year old. If the mother is not breastfeeding, menstruation typically returns within 6 to 8 weeks postpartum. Among breastfeeding mothers, about 25% may resume ovulation and menstruation around 12 weeks postpartum, while most breastfeeding mothers usually take until 18 weeks to fully recover their ovulation function.
