Three and a half months after giving birth, she hasn't recovered yet.

Patient's question:

Four months postpartum, the uterus is hypertrophic, cylindrical, and with epithelial migration. The uterine body is slightly smaller! After giving birth, I couldn't urinate, and I used a catheter—does it have something to do with that! I had a 4-needle episiotomy before.

Doctor's answer:

The uterus has not yet returned to its previous size. Around 42 days postpartum, the uterus can gradually return to its original size. If it hasn't recovered after three months, there might be an issue. However, you should visit a hospital for a check-up to determine the specific problem and then receive targeted treatment.
