How long after giving birth do periods return

Patient's question:

I've had my baby for three months now, but I still have irregular periods. It's been about once a week since giving birth. What could be the reason?!!! URGENT

Doctor's answer:

1. Women with better physical health, about four months.
Some women are already quite strong before giving birth, and they recover well afterward. Gradually, their various functions return to the standards they had before pregnancy. For this type of woman, menstruation usually returns around four months. However, such women make up a relatively small proportion.
2. Under normal circumstances, menstruation will return after weaning.
Since women still bear the responsibility of breastfeeding after giving birth, the nutrients their bodies absorb are mostly converted into milk for the baby. Adding to this, there are many things to take care of postpartum, which makes most women feel quite tired. Therefore, for the majority of women, menstruation typically returns only after weaning.
