Patient's question:
Hello! I was produced on September 30th of this year, and my lochia stopped around October 28th. Four days later, it returned but with a heavier flow. It lasted for five days with a bright red color. On November 5th, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it might be my period. I was fully breastfeeding in October, but I started adding formula in November, feeding him three times a day. However, until today, my second period has still not arrived. What could be the reason? Urgent.Doctor's answer:
Hello, during breastfeeding, if you have sexual intercourse without contraception, there is still a possibility of pregnancy. Some women may not have their menstrual period while breastfeeding, but it is still possible to get pregnant during this time. Therefore, it is recommended that if you have sexual intercourse while breastfeeding, you should still take contraceptive measures. It is generally not advisable to take contraceptive pills during breastfeeding, and it is recommended to use condoms for contraception, which is a better option.
