Patient's question:
I've had my baby for eight months, and I got my period last month. The amount of blood was okay. This month, it hasn't come yet, but when I wipe with toilet paper, there's a foamy, dirty substance. Is that normal?Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, hormonal fluctuations in the body can disrupt the regularity of menstruation. Some women experience their periods monthly within a few weeks after giving birth, while others may not have their periods throughout the breastfeeding period. Generally, menstruation tends to return to normal within three months after delivery, but the specific timeline depends on individual constitution and the extent of recovery. As long as there are no obvious discomfort symptoms, it is considered normal and there is no need to worry excessively.
