Patient's question:
My daughter is now four months old. She just started her menstrual period today. The amount of blood flow is very little. Is this normal?First follow-up question: The blood flow is very little, and it's very itchy downstairs. What could be the reason? A while ago, there was a yeast infection (+), and it has improved a lot after treatment. Also, could you please tell me what are the causes of urinary tract infections?
Second follow-up question: Doctors, hello! Her menstrual period had only a tiny amount of blood yesterday, but today it's gone. Is this also normal? If it's a yeast infection and it's itchy, what kind of medicine can be used during the menstrual period?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, during breastfeeding, high prolactin levels in the body may lead to menstrual disorders. A decrease in menstrual flow is normal. Menstruation often returns soon after childbirth. In your case, it is due to menstrual irregularity, which is a common condition among women and there is no need to worry excessively. It can be alleviated through regulation. Menstrual irregularity can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine and herbal remedies. Medications like Wuchijibafeng Pill and Xiaoyan Pill can be used, as they have minimal side effects. Since you are still breastfeeding, it is recommended not to use Western medicine. Additionally, maintain a light diet, engage in moderate exercise, and pay attention to keeping warm.
