After giving birth, how can I deal with a decrease in menstrual flow?

Patient's question:

Since having my baby, my menstrual flow has significantly decreased. I only need one pad a day. It's gone within three days.

Doctor's answer:

Irregular menstruation has many causes, which are typically divided into two major categories in clinical practice: one is functional, such as irregular menstruation caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, which can also lead to irregular menstruation.
Go to the hospital for a check-up and take medication accordingly. In daily life, eat more foods that boost qi and blood, or use traditional Chinese medicine for regulating menstruation, such as angelica sinensis (Dang Gui), astragalus (Huang Qi), and motherwort (Yi Mu Cao). Drink plenty of water, eat less spicy and irritating foods, pay attention to a balanced diet, and exercise more.
Wishing you good health.
