What should I do if my menstrual period comes late after childbirth?

Patient's question:

I stopped breastfeeding when I was eleven months old, and my period came after that. It has been two months since then, and it's the same every month. This month, my period is already a week late. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative, but I also have some abdominal pain. What could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, considering your situation, it may be caused by catching a cold. Generally, the likelihood of pregnancy during breastfeeding is relatively low. After childbirth, it usually takes 4-6 months for a postpartum woman's menstrual cycle to return. Pay attention to preventing colds and consuming more warming foods such as lamb and dog meat. This is the complete introduction to "I stopped breastfeeding when I was eleven months pregnant, and my period still hasn't come, what should I do?" Finally, wish the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy life.
