How long will the menstrual period come back after giving birth?

Patient's question:

I'm very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. Could you please tell me how long it will take for my period to return after giving birth?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, the time it takes for a woman to resume her menstrual cycle after childbirth is usually between 1 to 6 months, which depends on her physical condition.
Advice: Some women with better physical health may have a quicker recovery of their uterine function, so they may resume their menstrual cycle within one month after childbirth. However, others may take longer due to slower recovery. Since you did not take any contraceptive measures during sexual activity after childbirth, if your ovulation function is normal, pregnancy cannot be ruled out. Therefore, it is recommended that you use a pregnancy test kit to confirm whether you are pregnant.
