Do I need special solutions if I have excessive menstrual flow after a natural birth?

Patient's question:

I gave birth to my baby naturally about half a month ago last year. I experienced two severe postpartum hemorrhages and had two uterine clearings. I stopped breastfeeding last June, and my first period came in July. After that, I haven't had a period. In December, I had a thorough check-up at the hospital and found cysts in my ovaries. The doctor prescribed medication for me. In November, I had a period that lasted for half a month but with very little flow. On the second day of this month, I had another period, and it feels like it's heavier than before, lasting for two days. Do I need to seek special treatment?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help you clarify your question. According to your description, the placenta was manually removed during childbirth, and there has been no menstrual period for 1.5 years postpartum. In the absence of breastfeeding, the return of menstruation may even occur earlier. For your situation, it is recommended to undergo a thorough ultrasound examination and a detailed series of hormonal blood tests to assess the relationship between the return of menstruation. I hope my explanation helps you. The above advice is for the question "I gave birth to my baby naturally half a month ago." I hope it is helpful to you, and wish you good health!
