Patient's question:
I am currently in the postpartum period. My child is only 7 months old and I have started menstruating. Is it normal to have a period at this stage? Are there any precautions I should take? Can I still continue breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
Hello, postpartum menstruation usually occurs three months later. However, 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 function of the ovaries and uterus is beginning to recover. After menstruation returns, it is important to take contraceptive measures during sexual activity. Rest, exercise more, and enhance nutrition to help the body recover as quickly as possible.
