What is the reason for having a menstrual period only once in nine months after giving birth?

Patient's question:

Nine months after giving birth, I've had one menstrual period, and this time it's been delayed by 18 days. I've been breastfeeding exclusively. What could be the reason for this? Besides the slightly dry stools of the baby, how should I take care of myself?

Doctor's answer:

Your period came once and was delayed by 18 days this time. You can first verify how to get pregnant. If not, you may have irregular menstruation. It is recommended that you observe for a period of time. If it is still irregular for two consecutive months, you may need to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. If your baby's stool is dry, you can give your baby more water and avoid overly refined supplementary foods. If constipation occurs, you can give your baby dragon fruit to effectively relieve constipation. The above is advice on the question "Nine months after giving birth, I had my period once." I hope it helps you. Wish you health!
