Patient's question:
I am currently in the postpartum period. My child is only 7 months old and has started menstruating. Is it normal to have a period at this age? Are there any precautions I should take? Can I still continue breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
Hello, postpartum menstruation usually occurs three months later, but it varies from person to person. Some may have their period one month after giving birth, while others may not have it until a year later. The return of menstruation indicates that the ovarian and uterine functions are beginning to recover. Once menstruation returns, it is important to take contraceptive measures during sexual activity. Rest, exercise more, and enhance nutrition to help the body return to normal as soon as possible.
