Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me if not having a period for 3 months after breastfeeding is a sign of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
During lactation, menstruation may not return, but there is still a possibility of ovulation. Therefore, it is important to continue using contraceptive measures during sexual intercourse. You can start using contraception now and wait for half a month. After another half a month, if pregnancy is confirmed to be absent, you can then have an intrauterine device (IUD) inserted. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects the health of the patient but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a routine examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
